Conteúdo: 	This article examines transformations associated with changes in resourceuse and land cover dynamics in the community of S ?ao Manoel, Maranh ?aostate, in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. The shifting cultivator peasants inS ?ao Manoel integrate swidden fields for annual cropping, the extraction ofbabassu palm products, and pastures for cattle ranching. Since the early twen-tieth century, predominant vegetative cover patterns have been altered fromspecies-rich mature forests to secondary succession with babassu dominantto pasture or swidden fields containing palm stands of various densities. Agrounded political ecology of resource use in the area suggests that manage-ment strategies and the resulting land cover dynamics integrate site-specificdecisions of peasant producers. I discuss the trajectory of production strate-gies in S ?ao Manoel since the establishment of the community in the 1920s,and identify the multiple dimensions affecting resource use and environmen-tal outcomes, with an emphasis on the period following land struggles and therecovery of peasant tenure rights in the mid-1980s. The analysis indicates thatsocionatural trajectories that optimize resource use and address the socioe-conomic needs of the community include the maintenance of palm/pasturesassociations
