Occupy, produce and resist. With these intents, approximately 50 peasant families connected with MST - the Landless Rural Workers' Movement in Brazil - took possession of the São Paulo Farm in 2005, in the municipality of Barbosa Ferraz, in the central-western region of Paraná, and who challenged successive eviction orders issued by the Judiciary. The occupied area of 573,20 hectares was divided into individual lots by the peasants themselves, who gave the camp the status of rural pre-settlement, and named it Sister Dorothy. Studying the process of struggle for land of the peasants from Barbosa Ferraz is the objective of this work. It is sought to value the strategies and anxieties of the peasant struggle, the receptivity of the local and regional community and the paths covered in the spheres of the Judiciary, both by the former owner for the reintegration of possession and the supporters of the workers camped, for the implementation of an agrarian reform project.
