Political Organization of the Nazareth Community

In Brazil, family farming is strengthened by political organization through associations, cooperatives, and unions. These spaces function as a mechanism for the defense of social and cultural rights, and especially for the exercise of citizenship in the country, especially in traditional communities in the Amazon. The research was carried out in the Nazaré community with families who live off local agriculture. The Nazaré Community is a riverine community belonging to the region of Zé Açu, rural zone of the municipality of Parintins/AM. This book seeks to highlight the productive and touristic potential of the community, and how it has organized itself through associations and cooperatives to develop the region and access public policy and also point out the influence of churches in political organization in riverside communities.
