Nossa gente, nossa história: o Ceará Republicano

Abstract

Our People, Our History is the result of writing twenty-three articles, divided into four thematic parts that can be seen in the summary and throughout the book. Therefore, we undertake a dive into the backcountry universe, talking about the joy of the coming winter, the hell of drought and the religious practices bordering on fanaticism (Part 1). We enter the world of work and stretch the journey to understand our people's education and education projects and proposals (Part 2). On the other hand, it was necessary to talk about the cultural diversity that characterizes us. What do the queer universe in cinema and homoaffective sociability in the city space have in common? What can a saintly father and a set of praying women tell us about healing? What are the cultural boundaries between reisado dancers, young dancers from the periphery and the work of singer Belchior? These are questions that may or may not be answered by reading the set of articles in Part 3. Finally, how does politics and economics interfere with the daily life of a city? This is what the authors propose to discuss in Part 4, highlighting the unique characteristics in the history of the municipalities of Ibiapina and Camocim.
