An analysis of transformations in the structures of the agrarian sphere in Brazil since 1964 can help to better understand the emergence & expansion of the MST (Movimento Sem Terra). The influence of movements linked to the progressive Catholic Church that have backed the landless rural workers' mobilization, demands & organization, has stepped in where the trade union movement has proven unable to combat the concentration of property & social exclusion. The trajectory of the MST, its specificities, its forms of struggle & organization & the formation of behaviors & alternative values, reveal a socialist ideology blended with religious influences that is now turning toward the alternative globalization movements.
