Abstract

Along two centuries, the rowers have contributed for the formation and development of the regional economic system of the Sao Francisco River. Due to their social importance, they have been mentioned by travelers and technicians in their reports on the region. However, their work, beliefs and social position may be known through fiction literature: they are part of the regional short stories and novels. Thus, these sources have been used in the continuity of our interpretation work started in the book Navegantes da integração: os remeiros do Rio São Francisco (Ed. UFMG) (Sailors of integration: the rowers of the Sao Francisco River - Publisher UFMG), in which we used, above all, the methodological resource of interviews. In the present article, reports and fiction literature are confronted with the information of the book mentioned above.
