The object of this research is Sarandi Camp belonging to the Movement of Landless Rural Workers, located in the north of Rio Grande do Sul, region of genesis of the Movement. Given the symbolism that this region represents the landless, the goal of MST is to keep alive the Movement where it was created. It was with this purpose that, in 2004, members of MST camped in the region, having as target Coqueiros Farm, the largest rural property in the north of the state. Coqueiros Farm represents the search for a new landmark of struggle which until recently was linked to Annoni Farm. From then on, this study, supported by ethnography through the participant observation and the intersubjective contact with the camp intends to study the identification process of the group camped in Sarandi with the goals and principles of MST, for such individuals live in a scenery of mutual aid and conflict. The life in Sarandi Camp is characterized by formation periods and solidarity experiences, but it is not an exempt space from conflicts and disagreements. The outlook for the conquest of land which provides the confluence of individual trajectories is actually the representation of the lack of prospects from a social group carrying calloused biographies by the social and economic suppression and from these experiences, the perception emerges from the life in the Camp is better than the life outside it. Thus, the MST sustained by the labels of agrarian reform, socialism, cooperatives and agro-ecology transforms into a movement of reception and maintenance of basic needs that the State doesn t furnish.
