A contribuição da igreja católica para a formação do neozapatismo e do movimento dos trabalhadores rurais sem terra

Abstract

The present paper analyses the relationship between the formation of the Landless Workers Movement (MST) and the Neozapatist Movement. The study starts examining the historical experiences of the social groups that have formed those Movements. Thus, from the mixture of religiosity and culture in witch those segments have belonged, we can highlight the relationship between popular and traditional Catholicism with the establishment of the Landless Workers (MST) and the Neozapatist Movements.
