This article presents theoretical and methodological considerations on research related to the social reconversion of families living on land pertaining to sugar mills residents (both agricultural workers and rural mill staff) to agrarian reform settlers. This is an ongoing work based on the empirical bankruptcy of the Santa Maria mill in the Brejo region of Paraíba, Brazil, and points to the issue of reconstructing subjective worlds imposed by new experiences through the concept of "uprooting" and how to overcome this challenge, questions that are central to the work of Pierre Bourdieu.
