This study, with the theme Peasant memory: the conflicts for land and Rural Education in Barreiras town (BA), analyses whether the conflicts in the rural region have contributed for democratization or the conquest of land and education for several peoples of the rural region in Barreiras town. About the methodology, the option chosen was the qualitative approach to rescue the peasants’ collective memory in three agrarian reform settlement projects, one of them a traditional community and two irrigation projects of Codevasf. Information was collected with two leaders of the Union of Rural Workers (Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Rurais de Barreiras, STRB in Portuguese acronym); the current and ex leaders of the municipal Movement of Landless Rural Workers (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, MST in Portuguese acronym); a local historian, who made studies on this reality; and a regional coordinator of a NGO. The following instruments and procedures for data collection were used: questionnaire, semi structured interview and documental analysis. For data treatment, the speeches of participants of the research previously identified were analyzed. Nest, empirical information were crossed with reflections by researchers like Arroyo (1999, 2004, 2017), Caldart (2004, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2015), Candau (2016), Freire (1998, 2011), Halbwachs (2003), Martins (1981, 1982, 1983, 1985, 2001, 2003, 2010), Molina (2012), Taffarel and Munarim (2015), Oliveira (1990, 1996) and Prado Júnior (2014). According to the bibliographic study and the empirical analysis of data was possible notice out that the land concentration remains high in the town, therefore, it is difficult to the peasants have access to the land. It was still identified that in some situations, the land redistribution was result from agreements among peasants and landowners, and in lower proportion, from conflicts involving the subjects previously mentioned. The study indicated that, even before adverse conditions, the peasants resist to the perverse land ownership model and they reached, even without government assistance (financing or technical assistance), producing and living in their plot of land. Regarding to the education in/of rural region, (it is one of the peasants’ claims), it was identified that, on the opposite of what is propagate, the closing /nucleation of schools overtaxes much more the municipality, because an exorbitant amount is spent with students school transportation. It was evident that closing schools undergo students to jeopardies from the precarious conditions of streets and buses. Further, it causes the students loss of socio-cultural link with the community and weaken the movement of struggle for land, because the schools closing contributes for emptying the rural regions, in a constant migratory process of families searching for public policies.
