The bilingual anthology of the literature and lyrics produced by the members of the MST (Movement of the Landless Agraraian Workers in Brazil), founded in 1984, considered by many Latin America's greatest and better organized social movement today, congregating many of the estimated 4 million landless families throughout the country, is compiled by Else R P Vieira (The Federal University of Minas Gerais/Brazil and the University of Nottingham) and translated by Bernard McGuirk (Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, the University of Nottingham). The project is supported by the Postgraduate School of Critical Theory and Cultural Studies of the University of Nottingham. Agreements have been made for a site including the anthology and the supplementary material (see below) to be organized by Professor George P. Landow (Brown/National University of Singapore) as part of the Postcolonial Website. It is envisaged for the anthology to be also published in book form by a publisher in England with an outlet in the USA.
