title: [Mobility of migrants:  autonomy or subordination in the Amazon region?].
abstract: The authors examine the mobility of the population of the rural Machadinho Settlement Project in Brazil from July 1985 to June 1987. "Mobility is analyzed according to general demographic variables as sex, age and migratory experience.  In spite of the relatively low levels of mobility, the differentials that arise reflect the conditions under which the occupation of Machadinho occurred and the seasonality of the regional agricultural cycle. Mobility patterns are examined in relation to the most recent debates on the 'peasantry' in Brazil and on the frontier.  The existence of different strategies or distinctive projects within the same population is discussed...." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
