Description

In agrarian societies across the globe, rapid social and economic change associated with urbanizing and globalizing processes, increased educational opportunities, and livelihood diversification are shaping inter-generational differences. In the Brazilian Amazon, there is concern over transitions in livelihood desires as the youth disengage from agriculture and agroforestry production and out-migrate from rural areas. Given this context, the primary objective of this dissertation is to understand how rural-urban mobility affects livelihood strategies and rural identities across generations of resource users residing in an environmentally protected area in the Amazon Estuary in the state of Para, Brazil. The research focuses on Amazonian youth and how regional changes are impacting their mobility practices, livelihood choices, and identities. To better understand these issues, this dissertation addresses the following questions: What are the patterns and drivers of rural-urban mobility and migration in the Amazon estuary today? How does rural-urban mobility and increased educational opportunities impact young Amazonians' livelihood desires and inter-generational relationships? In what ways do urbanizing and globalizing processes impact young people's notions of rural identity and expectations for rural development?My findings are based on 14 months of ethnographic fieldwork which included in-depth household interviews and a quantitative analysis of mobility patterns. The mobility analysis indicated that rural-urban circulation is the predominate form of mobility as people travel to nearby towns up to four times per month with trips lasting from daily visits to monthly visits. I found that increased rural-urban mobility is impacting rural young people's livelihood desires and identities. However, young people have diverse attitudes toward farming and agroforestry and even those with higher rural-urban mobility continue to foster social, economic, and affective ties to both their rural home and urban centers. Their identities continue to be informed by rural knowledge and practices even as their desire for urban commodities, technologies, and media are increasing. In order to better understand the aspirations of rural young people, I argue that we cannot paint an oversimplified picture of youth abandonment of farm lands and forest. Instead, we must examine the various ways young people envisions their relationship with rural and urban places.
