Abstract: The main objective of this work is to discuss the role of migration in shaping the practices and representations of social groups that have, for decades, resorted to socio-spacial displacements as a means to survive, reproduce or change their own conditions of existence in the countryside. The migrational movements of Bahia's small producers are taken here not as an object presenting fixed regularities but as both an expression of certain structures of social relations and as active elements in the transformation of these relations. This means to say that, without overlooking the great impact of rural migration on national society (and particularly on industrial urban centers), this work turns to the other end of the migrational question, i.e., to the rural end where migrational movements are formed and where certain changes are produced as a result of these socio-spacial movements. Actually the idea is not to shift the focus from the urban end (more covered in existing studies of migration) to the rural end, but to contribute to an understanding of the relations between the two. Turning to studies that treat migration as a process that involves and changes the relations between the social conditions of origin and the social conditions of arrival, the present work aims to understand the history of migration of Bahian small producers from its origins -when it took place within the rural area- through a first phase of rural-urban displacements and up to the present of migrational movements. In tracing the history of the socio-spacial displacements of small producers from a particular region of Bahia, the Paraguaçu Valley, this work seeks to explain the different forms taken by these displacements in the last five decades through an analysis of the inter-relationships between the prevailing forms of domination in the countryside, the more inclusive economic and political structures and the survival strategies of the region's small producers.
