SILVA, Jailson Costa da and FREITAS, Marinaide Lima de Queiroz. Sertões: stories and memories of the education and culture of the Sertanejo people. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e079. Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806. https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-79.
This paper presents researches carried out from 2011 to 2018, in the sertão of Alagoas, and were focused on literacy and culture actions, developed in the sertão community during the period of the civil-military dictatorship (1970-1985), based on Oral history, Alberti (2008) and Bosi (1994), privileging interviews and photographs as sources. These reports have as purpose to present the memorialistic narratives, about several Alagoas’ sertões, with emphasis on the education and culture of the people of the countryside. These narratives go against official history, which reinforces the stigmas about this region, led by the project of colonial domination that is perpetuated in the hegemonic discourses currents of our country even in nowadays, and constantly fights for the domination of powers and knowledge. The oral and visual sources brought new reflections in relation to the place - Alagoas’ Sertões - and made us realize that resignifications were possible, even during the military dictatorship.
