Abstract

This article presents an account of A ronda das Americas (Around the Americas) by Jorge Amado. The book is a collection of travel logs written by the author while journeying throughout the Americas in 1937. The analysis focuses on the similarities and differences established by the Bahian novel writer regarding cultural diversity in Brazil mainly between the Southern and Northeastern regions. The objective is to understand the writer’s view of regional in a historic cultural context in Brazil which is marked by the division North/South. In order to reach such objective it is important to consoefer Amado’s participation in the literary field of the 30s, his political affiliation as well as his commitment with revolutionary art in harmony with his time.
