Traditional family feuding and banditry as well as envy‐inspired violence associated with capitalised irrigation have been intensified by the introduction of cannabis farming and organised crime in the Sertão of Northeast Brazil to the point that today the cannabis producing zone is one of the most violent places in the world. These three interrelated forms of contemporary violence arose, respectively, in the pre‐1940 frontier setting, in the 1940 to 1980 period of rapid Brazilian industrialisation which depressed peasant sectors and stimulated the rise of capitalised irrigation and in the post‐1980 period of economic stagnation and social‐political crisis in Brazil which depressed consumer markets and induced the State to liberalise foreign trade policy to the detriment of periphery regions like the Northeast.
Este trabalho analisa o conflito socioambiental no qual a população ribeirinha é ameaçada por unidades de conservação ambiental pública e privadas no norte de Mato Grosso do Sul e limite com Mato Grosso. O Parque Nacional do Pantanal Matogrossense e reservas particulares de patrimônio natural – RPPN – articulam-se em uma forte rede de conservação biocêntrica e ameaçam a população tradicional ribeirinha gerando conflito. O objetivo é analisar e avaliar o conflito, quanto a questões fundiárias e a restrições que são impostas pelas unidades de conservação sobre a população limitando o modo de vida de legado histórico. Ribeirinhos resistem e alianças extra local são formadas visando a permanência no lugar. Abordagem teórico baseia-se na História Ambiental Radical e na Ecologia Política Crítica, questionando injustiça social em ações ambientais discriminatórias de populações rurais vulneráveis.
