Despite the coup d'état of 1964, this period left an indelible mark on the memories, as it finally established "rights" for rural workers. The unprecedented action of its organizations - Peasant Leagues and Rural Workers' Unions - promoted, in the cane zone, remarkable effects on their living and working conditions. The "Tempo de Arraes" was highlighted in the report of the sugarcane workers themselves and some witnesses.

Nas paginas a seguir, serao evocadas algumas tentativas de descentralizacao do olhar em relacao aos roteiros predominantes na historiografia em portugues. Neste sentido, balizas podem ser colocadas a partir de questionamentos sobre o evolucionismo cultural, por meio de instrumentos simples e acessiveis como mapas e documentos medievais que facilitam o relativizar de assuncoes corriqueiras. Por sua vez, tais perspectivas permitem reconsiderar tambem a historia de outros periodos e espacos de forma a ganhar em liberdade em relacao ao eurocentrismo vigente ate na academia, portador de subalternidade intrinseca para quaisquer outros espacos, inclusive o Brasil. A Asia, por exemplo, oferece materiais ricos e uteis para jovens cidadas e cidadaos do seculo XXI.

Endemic malnutrition has a major impact on such important social indicators as infant mortality, population stature, ability to focus on children, and intense physical exertion for adults. Rural workers from the Zona da Mata testify about their own experience, adding their voice to a list of sources that were partly tinged by the mythology of the bosses' class: their representatives would be distinguished by a benevolence manifested preferably in the field of food and health care . Sugarcane cutters described the abandonment of their families in terms of medical care, even in the most serious cases, often leading to the tragic outcome, as well as the strategies of survival that, from generation to generation, developed to escape starvation, getting food in addition to the insufficient amount that his salary allowed to buy. The lack of health services and the resources of popular medical practices constitute the complete refutation of the bosses' version of history.

Thus maoism in-formed several political currents and generations of political activists, such as PCB, AP or PCdoB. Apart from definitions, they were interested in the way of thinking of Chinese communists, unlikely winners, which opened perspectives as to how to conceive revolution in Brazil in a way more cohe-rent with its historical originality, geographical complexity, and level of development. Aspects formerly seen as hindran-ces became beacons of hope: rural economic preponderance, especially peasant struggles in the Northeast or Maringa etc. Some examples from the continent favoured this bet. Ten years after the proclamation of the People's Republic of Chi-na, a Cuban revolutionary movement ...

The evidences of rural workmen engaged in the sugar fields largely refute this diagnosis.

Large social mobilizations, involving organizations of rural workers, allowed them to enforce those rights. Considered a milestone in social history, this new legal status is presented in the historiography as having decisive importance in the expulsion of former resident workers from the plantations, characterized as the "proletarization" of the labor force. Sugar cane cutters have distinctive opinions and their own ideas of periodization, placing their struggle in the broader context of the Brazilian legal framework of working relationships. The present article brings some precise data from the first legal procedures immediately after the promulgation of the statute, demonstrating how these new rights were claimed in court in three tribunals of the sugar cane area of Pernambuco.
