Abstract

The objective of this study is to spatially analyze the manifestations of the Brazilian Northeastern culture present in the city of Sorocaba, resulted from migration movements attracted by employment opportunities. It aimed to identify part of this Northeastern cultural scene in an attempt to understand the places over which it is spread, as well as if they remain uniform or fragmented, heterogeneous or homogeneous in the migrant and Northeastern descendants’ daily life. Moreover, we sought to understand the presence of CCTN (Centro Cultural de Tradições Nordestinas) of Sorocaba in the lives of migrants and descendants, as well as in local politics, culture and society as a whole.
