On the Sertão Trails

The researchers associated with the series Nas Trilhas do Sertão sought to present to the reading public a sertão different from the stereotypical one present in the narratives of fiction literature and television media. It is a rupture and an emancipation. A rupture because the series Nas trails do sertão always seeks to break with the history-memory and “flattery” that is produced by local organic intellectuals, whose production has the clear objective of building a laudatory and self-praising memory for the sertaneja elites and their ancestors.
