Abstract

In 2013 and 2014, we were in the sertão of Piauí as part of the team of researchers that had the task of verifying the socioeconomic impacts that the construction of the Transnordestina Railway caused in the quilombola communities of Barro Vermelho, Contente, Caetitu, Garapa and Chapada da Ferramenta. This essay presents images of life in these communities and the devastation brought by the railroad.
