| Abstract | |
This Doctorate dissertation deals with the process of the State of São Paulo citrus production establishment and its modernization from the 1960s onwards. It articulates this establishment to the coffee production expansion within this State and its crises. Nevertheless, in the analysis of such process, we focused the matter of the work system in coffee production called colonato, discussing its contradictions as well as its interpretation in literature. The end of the colonato system was studied from the particularities found in field works, giving birth to new lower standardized work forms in agriculture. The role of education and of research institutes was another debated theme, understood here as a fundamental element of agriculture modernization. As far as this modernization is concern, we sought the changes in the forms of the State itself and how it conducted policies aiming at the diversification of agricultural productions, among which citrus production was included. More than diversification, we found a radical transformation in the way to produce oranges, also in the way of exploiting work and in the destination of those commodities as raw material to a processing industry, established in the 1960s. This dissertation grasped historical elements of such modernized reality, comprehending the process as developing an internal crisis to the accumulation of capital, as well as the autonomization process of the categories of lad, work and capital (AU) | |
