<br/><br/> This article examines resistance to land grabbing through incremental dynamics in the Brazilian Amazon. It draws on qualitative data (25 semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations) as well as quantitative and institutional data. It uses an institutionalist framework of countermovements to analyze how strategies for formalizing collective land rights enable a certain degree of resistance to land grabbing. However, the categories of collective formalization rooted in statization, along with the long-standing trend of pitting these collective rights against the formalization of individual rights, pose a significant challenge for countermovements in Santarém (Pará).
