Esse (des)conhecido sujeito social: a produção acadêmica sobre a juventude das EFAs

The context of this article is the interest in investigating the youth of Escolas Famílias Agrícolas (EFAs), since, in recent decades, Brazilian society has experienced the affirmation of youth as a political category and recipient of social actions. If rural youth also felt the impacts of this new political place, our curiosity fell on the academic production on the selected topic. To this end, a systematic literature review was carried out in the Scielo Platform database, with searches delimited between the years 2011 and 2021. The data were treated through descriptive graphs and tables. The thematic set of research indicates the persistence of historically recurring themes, but also points to the insertion of themes that accompany the issues brought about by the conquest of the new political place of the young category and that have been strengthened in recent years. However, the publication and, therefore, the communication of the researches to the society does not happen in accordance with the distribution of the educational experiences of the EFAs throughout the Brazilian territory. Overcoming this structural challenge requires the resumption of social and political processes that have been dismantled in recent years.
