Keywords: peasantry; farmers' rights; jurisdicity; legal pluralism; Vale Verde
Faced with the contemporary crisis of Law due to the inability to follow the social transformations and needs of its subjects, in the recognition and protection of the rights of the subordinate classes, especially the peasants, together with community practices as multicultural expressions of legality representation, this study presents itself as an instrument of reflection on territorialized practices among peasants in rural communities in Vale Verde - Bahia, Brazil. The objective of this research is to identify the emergence of elements of the production of legality in the territory as well as the existence of a legal pluralism in the rural communities of Vale Verde. It is a qualitative study that starts from a literature review on the subject for, then, a subsequent immersion in empirical practice through ethnography, configuring, therefore, as work in the field of legal anthropology. It presents rural communities as a unit of analysis and, given the initial hypotheses, the study points out that the studied community evidences elements of the production of alternative juridicities in the face of deprivation of access to rights and inefficiency of the local government in the substantial promotion of public policies for peasants . The elements found in the field indicate the existence of a logic close to community legal pluralism, however, the set of evidence necessary to infer that the model is concretely applied in practice was not presented in its entirety, evidencing the low degree of social participation due to the dismantling of the association of rural producers.
