The following article sets out to criticize the legal removal of the residents of Imbuhy, a traditional coastal community on the Rio de Janeiro coast, under the pretext of military easement around the former fort of Pedro II built on Imbuhy Point, within which no fisherman is allegedly allowed to reside or work. The basis of the argument hinges on the Federal Government’s obtaining of a legal order for the repossession of the homes of 32 families living in the village. With methodological misgivings on the official version of events, we sought to shape a possible genealogy of the consequent socio-legal conflict, providing fresh sources of research and other items of analysis able to provide a new interpretation of the traditional community’s case as debated in the courts.
