Histories of our country: on the civic project of construction of the Brazilian nation through print

Abstract:

This article presents an excerpt from a study on school reading books circulating in Brazil in the first decades of the republican period. Specifically, it has been examined the book Historias da nossa terra (Histories of our country), by Julia Lopes de Almeida, published in 1907. A question has guided the study: howHistorias da nossa terra was inserted in the morphology of school reading books, whose materiality and content conveyed a civic and patriotic pattern proposed as referential to the republican Brazilian nation? The theoretical ground can be found in studies of history of education and cultural history. The book was aligned with schoolbooks of the period and contributed to the construction of the Brazilian nation by means of print.
