Our people, our history: republican Ceará
Keywords:
Sertão, Education, Culture, HistorySynopsis
In the 2018.1 semester, we proposed to the History of Brazil III students that we write about our people, those who are closest to us, living with us or even a little distant in the recent past. The idea was to take advantage of the research that was being done to write their respective TCCs and adapt the themes to the republican period, a time that converges with the study of the discipline mentioned above. We would, therefore, have a kind of Ceará República panel, due to the themes raised in the first classes. Few students had to leave their research area to fulfill the final objective – publishing a book with articles from students in the final stages of the course.
Throughout the semester, we discussed a work that served as a guide and inspiration for us: Histórias da Gente Brasileira. Volume 3, Republic. Memoirs (1889-1950), authored by historian Mary Del Priore. It was an interesting experience, because each time the discussions were held, we felt that those stories told, in the case of the third volume, narrated from memory, were issues that concerned us, that we had already heard told by our parents and grandparents.
