Ouro branco ou boi do pobre: a influência do algodão no desenvolvimento socioeconômico da cidade de Aurora - CE(1960-1990).

Abstract

Ouro Branco or Boi do Pobre is a study that seeks, from individual and collective memories, to understand how the establishment, the peak, the decadence and the cooperative system in front of the cotton culture in Aurora-Ce took place. In this perspective, I analyzed commercial and family relationships with a focus on credit dependencies and share rates to which the field producer (farmer) was subjected. Characters who gradually built their legacy of subsistence, but always focused on their poverty, dependence and submission. To carry out the research, we will work with oral sources (memory) and other documents such as photographic and written records. We will also be based theoretically on the ideas and discussions of the paradigms of economic History and social History.
