Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the experience of young rural workers joining a public university, based on a pioneering experiment deployed at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, which offers a regular licentiate course in rural education as part of the Brazilian Federal University Expansion and Restructuring Plan. It can be said that these young people managed to overcome the difficulties imposed by their situation as poor, young, rural workers. If the so-called ‘affirmative’ policies were decisive for this ‘global transfer of distance’ (Bourdieu, 1998), it remains to be seen how this experience has been lived out and what mechanisms can be put into practice to guarantee the permanence of these people in spaces once well-demarcated.
