History of geography teaching in school groups in Rio Grande do Sul North (1908 -1931)

Much has been written about the Sertão.

From the trails of Guimarães Rosa (1956) to the recent studies resulting from the Master's Degree in History of the Sertões (MHIST/ CERES-UFRN), this space for the formation of culture, a way of life and historiographic production has enchanted many, and its modus operandi aroused interest and provoked the study of its facts and events.

The way of organizing life itself, marked by resistance to the challenges of the everyday life of the sertanejo and nature, is one of the many references that characterize man and the history of the places that make up this space.

A space that constitutes an ambience of experience, where not only is it possible to identify a characteristic type of culture and social construction, but it is also possible to identify the archetype of a way of thinking and building history, which is written in the present and observed in the everyday life of cities and fields that mutate and enchant in the presence of the rainy season. Just like the caatinga that awakens in green, life awakens in joy.

When talking about the history of teaching geography in school groups in Rio Grande do Norte, the author convinces us that the History of Education in Brazil is also built in the hinterland.
