Abstract

Manoel da Conceição Santos was a black leader who fought against the expropriation of the lands of farmers of the Pindaré river valley during the civil-military dictatorship. Composed of a non-white majority, the population of the region was creating ways of life that could be survival when they entered the Amazon rainforest. These ways of life were opposed to the modernization of agriculture carried out by military governments. Against biopolitics, that is, the management of life by military calculations, Manoel da Conceição used his biological body and made it a minor biopolitics. This article sought to understand life as a policy of this leadership, mainly from a book in which his memories prevent the archive of construction of common in the west of Maranhão from being forgotten.
