Abstract

The aim of this article was to analyze the process, the conditions, and the references that the writer Monteiro Lobato received over time, in a socio-historical perspective to understand the way in which, after having created the figure of Jeca Tatu with a pejorative connotation of the caipira, the writer created Zé Brasil, rehabilitating Jeca and emphasizing the political dimension. Methodologically, the research was carried out from a documental analysis of Monteiro Lobato's work and his epistolary production. In the literature review was considered the study of his stay in the United States and his impressions about the North American conditions for development. The context of his literary production was also considered while creating Zé Brasil. It was concluded that the transformation of Jeca Tatu into Zé Brasil took place within the scope of the historical process and the contextualization of the writer's trajectory and his quest to understand and transform Brazil. This transformation directly involves the agrarian question in the country and the search for economic alternatives for Brazil.
