Land and Labor Patterns in Brazil During the 1960s

Abstract

. Most of the agricultural sector in Brazil during the 1960s bore the autocratic imprint of latifundismo, which determined interpersonal relationships and those between man and land. Latifundios and agriculture in general were not labor‐absorptive, and farm size tended to vary inversely with the amount of intensively tilled land. Polyvalency of employment acted in concert with farm management practices to strengthen latifundismo and to impede realization of socio‐economic potentials for most rural inhabitants. Probable high frequency of multiple farm ownership by the landed élite verified that the areal extension of latifundismo had encountered no effective resistance. Elements of modernization on large estates seemed to betoken changes in technology and financing rather than alteration of traditional contexts. As an instrument for agrarian reform, the Estatuto da Terra (1964) was impotent, and beneficiaries of land were all but non‐existent under the military regime.
