Discriminados por lutar, chamados de urubus por resistir: a ocupação Nova Conquista na cidade de Barreirinha-AM

Abstract

The urban space as a product has in its formation and reproduction process countless contradictions inherent to its constitution. Of the many processes, in this work we will highlight the struggle for housing by those who cannot afford housing in the municipality of Barreirinha – AM. The study presented here, therefore, was carried out in the Nova Conquista neighborhood, originated through the process of urban occupation in 2009, with the title: Discriminated for fighting, called vultures for resisting. The research carried out had the intention to analyze the irregular land process from the Nova Conquista and then the factors that motivated its creation were investigated, through the identification of the housing conditions and the socioeconomic status of the inhabitants. To consolidate the work, theorists who agreed with the foundation of this scientific research were used, and the following stand out as fundamental: Maria Encarnação Sposito; Ana Fani Carlos; Roberto Lobato Corrêa and Maria Glória Gohn. The dialectical historical materialism method was used, which searches through the history of men's lives in society, ways of interpreting multiple realities. Data were collected in a field survey divided into two stages. In the first, an interview with 03 residents since the genesis of the neighborhood and in the second, the application of 100 forms, 04 in each block, all with closed questions, and methodologically qualitatively and quantitatively guided to carry out the tabulation of the results obtained. Among the main results, it can be noted that migration is a prominent factor in the occupation studied, as more than half of the interviewees (60%) made this displacement, with the Sateré Mawé ethnic group among the migrants. In the midst of the process of reproduction of the occupation, the research found that the vast majority of current residents did not buy land, but even in a smaller number, the sale of land was identified. It is also evident that despite the vast majority not having decent housing, residents in the occupation are satisfied with having their own home, a fact that made them overcome the prejudice they experienced.
