The present work defines and analyzes the spatial configuration of the Landless Workers Movement (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra - MST) in the Northeast in the year of 2007. It seeks to understand the existing relation between the MST and the development capitalist in Brazil and in the region. It maintains that the distribution/spatial organization of the MST in the Northeast is a reflection of the broader movement of social reproduction own way determined by taking the capitalist accumulation in Brazil.. Following the method of political economy, the MST is interpreted as a political representation of the conflict between social classes forged in the midst of the development process of national capitalism. The movement of social reproduction materialized spatial forms of social relations representative in each period and place. The settlements are taken as spatial forms that represent a moment of the process of social reproduction. But its configuration space, a concept that in this work allows geographically captures the social reality, no more than the appearance of the process of social reproduction. We must overcome such appearance falling within the relationships and social conflict implied therein. The spatial configuration of the MST in the Northeast has the main feature of the merger that is spots close to achieving activity centers of agricultural capitalist in the Northeast. It is understood that the MST is a political expression of the class of expropriated. This social group is analyzed in political economy from the strength-of-class work. In a capitalist society is the capital who commands the force-of-work. Brazilian social formation in the manner specified taking the capitalist accumulation brought the formation of an army of marginal strength-of-work that can not be absorbed by the capitalist circuit. The very process of capitalist accumulation that leverage the existence of such an army. The import of technology and capital goods needed for the acceleration of industrialization, provoked a rising in the organic composition of capital and reduced the amount of labor employed. This mechanism formatted a labor market that focuses on population centers of capitalist accumulation. The strength-of-work not consumed in the production process that occurs in such clusters is the social basis on which it raises the political expression of the MST. The spatial configuration of the MST in Northeast follows, therefore, the distribution of agricultural capitalist activity in the region.
