ALBUQUERQUE, Maria Betânia Barbosa. Beberagens Tupinambá e processos educativos no Brasil Colonial. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.01, pp.19-43. ISSN 0102-4698.

This article describes various social gathering where fermented beverages were consumed by Tupinambá Indians, considered by chroniclers and travelers as beverages lovers. A result of document and bibliographic research, it prioritizes sources as travel chronicles; letters and information from missionaries who witnessed beverage feasts, especially during sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; anthropologic and historic studies interested in indigenous practices of drinking as well as archaeologic studies registering Tupinambá's material culture. Its theoretical framework is based on assumptions of Cultural History, particularly on History of Food where beverages rituals can be placed. I argue that the practice of drinking can be configured as communication and learning situation because they were a way to teach and learn.

Palavras-chave : Tupinambá Beverages; Education Process; Colonial Brazil.
