VENDRAMINI, Célia Regina. The collective experience as a source of learning in the struggle of the Brazilian no-land movement . Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2005, n.6, pp.67-80. ISSN 1645-7250.

The paper puts forward a reflection on the learning built and/or acquired by the landless rural workers due to their exprience with the No-Land Movement [Movimento dos Sem Terra - MST] IN Brazil. The first part identifies the social origins of the landless people who make up MST in Santa Catarina, an are in the south of the country; the second part reflects on some of the learning based on the Movement’s main experiences of struggle, ranging from occupation of land and bivouacking to the settlements; the third, and last, part analyses this learning based on the category of experience, supported by E.P. Thompson. The experiences undergone by the landless people give rise to a bulk of learning of great personal, social and political meaning, from the crash between a history of a life away from social and political involvement and the joining of a movement which thrives on mass organisation and the capacity of self-regulation in the bivouacs and settlements.
