EXPERIENCES OF SOLIDARITY IN THE SEARCH FOR LAND

For nearly 50 years, since 1971, the Scalabrinian Missionary Sisters (MSCS) have been directly involved in the struggle for life, bread and dignity among landless migrants in 11 Brazilian states. Memories of the MSCS Sisters' missionary work are now being published in the book Experiences of solidarity in the search for land. Scalabrinian Missionary Sisters with landless migrants.

The work was organized by the Scalabrinian Center for Migration Studies (CSEM), with the participation of dozens of Sisters who worked with landless workers, in urban contexts, such as the outskirts of Goiânia - GO or Cariacica, ES, for example; or in rural contexts, in Goiás, Rio Grande do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul, among other states. With the advice of theologian Carmem Lussi and historian Sergio Coutinho, hundreds of pages of narratives of the MSCS Sisters' work have been organized in this publication which, in addition to rescuing the meaning of those experiences, reinforces communion and solidarity for the cause of life with dignity for all, with an emphasis on the search for land, with justice and dignity, in Brazil.
