História e Literatura: escritos coloniais de fins do século XVI e início do século XVII

In this article, we analyze the works of Pero de Magalhães Gândavo in what we name colonial writings. They are texts written between the late 16 th century and the early 17th century. Gândavo’s intention, as with the other colonial writers, is to defend the interests of the settlers. With that, we counter historiography in general and Brazilian historiography in particular, which sees them as authors identified with metropolitan interests.
