| Sumario: | This article highlights two elements perceived at the beginning of our research on the impacts of the Belo Monte Dam: (a) the need to document the stories of the families who are being dislocated and (b) the importance of cataloging the resistance movement to the construction of the Belo Monte Dam. Thus, this article includes excerpts of interviews with families who have been impacted to aid in our understanding of the process of deterritorialization and resettlement in the Volta Grande area of the Xingu River and considers the actions of social movements involved in the resistance of the construction of Belo Monte. Initiated in 2012, this research has the financial support of CNPq and Fapespa and has enabled us to confirm the violation of the rights of impacted families as well as obstructions to the resistance movement by those involved in the construction of Belo Monte. In conclusion, our research demonstrates that the construction of Belo Monte has moved forward without ensuring proper care for affected populations. |
