| dc.description.abstract | A textual analysis of editorials in the Revista Sem Terra, an official publication of the Brazilian Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (Landless Rural Workers’ Movement—MST), shows that the movement leadership uses collective memory making—retellings of past violence and repression—to emphasize the harsh consequences of neoliberal economic policy and appeal to the emotions of activists and allies. These retellings help the movement to further the cause of resistance to neoliberalism and build a national coalition that can promote economic alternatives and social equity. | |
