SOARES DOS SANTOS, Leonardo. Os valores de uma luta: A economia moral do movimento pela terra dos pequenos lavradores do Sertão Carioca nos difíceis anos de 1945-1964. Mundo agr. [online]. 2006, vol.6, n.12. ISSN 1515-5994.

This article attempts to discuss on concept of moral economy, presenting the case of "pequenos lavradores" (quatters) in Rio de Janeiro' landscape between 1945-1964. In the first place, the focus falls on the discussion of anthropologists as Klaas and Ellen Woortman about that concept. In the second, I make a verification one of how moral economy one has been expressed by "pequenos lavradores" in you fight for the land. My hypothesis is that moral economy one not is only a set of values, but it play too an important rule in the establishment of a political speech one and of your social identity. The sources explored are newspapers, peasant meeting documents and letters envoy to the President Getúlio Vargas.

Palabras clave : Carioca; moral economy; Land's struggle.
