Para além da exclusão rural

This article presents a historiographical review of the formation of the rural working class in Brazil during Getúlio Vargas' first government, specifically from 1932 to 1937, using E.P. Thompson's methodological perspective in dialogue with Economic History. The study examines how contemporary historiography has interpreted state policies, economic transformations, and forms of rural workers' resistance during this period. The analysis demonstrates that recent academic production contests the traditional thesis of "rural exclusion" during the Vargas period, revealing through documentary evidence that the government developed specific policies to reorganize social relations in the Brazilian countryside. It concludes by identifying gaps in historiography and proposing directions for future research based on primary sources.
