The primary focus of the present paper is the forms of subjection and sociability presented by rural Brazilian communities in the context of capitalist society. For this, the study presents the different forms of labor oppression and the appropriation of income derived from rural activities found in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The analysis of these phenomena is based on social theory and the discussion of the question of rural social movements as a contradictory force to the development of capitalist society. This research was based on a transversal study of rural settlements in the Brazilian state of Ceará between 2004 and 2008. It was possible to confirm that the rural communities, in their efforts to conquest a portion of the capitalist territory, have developed relationships of work and sociability, based on a strategy of social reproduction, and that new fronts in the struggle for agrarian reform continue to emerge through the political efforts of the rural population.
Key words: forms of subjection, rural communities, semi-arid region.
