São Paulo, o nordeste, e o Rio Grande do Sul

Resumo

The Gaúcho Identity is viewed through the rebirth of gaúcho tradition as an
answer question that marks the search for a cultural difference of Rio Grande do Sul.
This search is a reaction against the tendency to economic, political and administractive
centralization in a country already integrated and that homogenizes its culture
by mass media. Developing its analisys, the autor deals with some aspects of The
Modernist Movement of 22 and The Regional Manifesto of 26 by Gilberto Freire, just
to find the origins of contemporary cultural tendencies and to examine the question
of The Gaúcho Identity rebirth.
