Abstract

The land structure of the Zona da Mata region of Pernambuco is characterized, since the beginning of European colonization, as latifundium and sugar cane plantation. These elements are still composing the region, despite the insertion in the field of new productive forms and working relationships. In this sense, the main objective of this article is understand and analyze the process of transformation of the Zona da Mata de Pernambuco and the consequences to the spatial organization of the region. The 1980s and 90s represent a landmark of temporal attempt to change this land structure on the part of the State forward the social tensions generated in the field. This way, there is a new logic in the production of sugar cane, with the territories reconfiguration, but with the perpetuation of power relations.
