The territory issue has always been present in the constitution of human societies; its apprehension and domain are bonded to the most several forms of power, including the ideological that has often been used as a way to justify the different forms of ownership, since its usage is through the mastery of a particular social group. In this sense, the importance of territory is presented in this research as a concept discussed in Geography textbooks for middle school author Melhem Adas, during the period from 1970 to 1990. To this purpose, the historical approach goes back to the nineteenth century (XIX) with the establishment of the emergence of Modern School in Europe, which a priori had the function to justify the founding of the nation-state from the established school knowledge in schools. Geography as school content played a key role to justify the sense of patriotic nationalism, so important to get the project of the national State in this period. The concept of territory was, thus, widely used to substantiate the nationalistic ideals and the textbook was the instrument used to ensure such goals. The political, economical and social changes that occurred during the Historical process redefined the relationship between society and territory and its conception has undergone several theoretical transformations, which were analyzed differently in a large range of science fileds, including Geography. The historical angle (selected part) chosen for this study took place because of the historical context in which it was written in the didactic work of the author mentioned above, in the case of Brazil, took the implantation of the military dictatorship and political opening, from the mid-1980, when also occur the paradigm shifts of the geographical science.
