Kenya is going through a period of intense transition. The country's main development policy, Vision 2030, is just entering the second Medium Term Plan of Implementation from 2013. The development priorities focus extensively on large scale investments, for industrial, irrigated agriculture, utilization of newly discovered natural resources, and infrastructure development.

O caso dos camponeses de Cachoeirinha engloba três gerações de posseiros, que ocuparam a região norte de Minas Gerais (Brail) desde o início do século XX, pelo menos. É um caso típico da ocupação de terras por posseiros no Brasil. A preocupação pela legalização da propriedade só se dá mediante o conflito com o Estado ou com outros atores que tentam questionar a propriedade da terra.
O Quilombo Kalunga é uma terra coletiva, reconhecida pelo estado e em processo de regularização fundiária. As terras que compõem o territorio quilombola foram ocupadas há centenas de anos por africanos que fugiram da escravidão e acabaram se misturando à população indígena. Desta forma nasceu uma comunidade marcada por estas duas culturas e que conseguiu manter-se isolada até por volta de 1970.
