Abstract

The collection organized by Carlos Alexandre de Bortolo and Gustavo Henrique Cepolini Ferreira brings together 13 chapters that explore the multiple interactions between city and countryside in Brazil, through the critical lens of Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space. The essays reveal how capital permeates urban and rural territories, promoting spoliation and spatial reconfigurations. Studies on Uberlândia, Montes Claros, São Paulo, and regions in the North and Northeast highlight land conflicts, peripheral industrialization, urban agriculture, and peasant resistance. The work underscores the ambiguous role of the State and proposes alternatives such as community gardens and agroecological practices. The book contributes to overcoming the city–countryside dichotomy, offering a critical and updated reading of the Brazilian territory. In times of socio-environmental crisis, it stands as an essential reference for researchers, planners, and social movements.
