ABSTRACT. This article aims at understanding the relevance of the rural course book in the daily life of Santa Luzia Municipal School. Two specific purposes were settled: a) to characterize the dynamics of rural education; b) to characterize and analyze the public policy for course books in the countryside, which profited from bibliographical analysis and case study. It was intended, therefore, to contextualize rural education in social movements’ fights for a school that contributes to the countrymen’s identity and rights’ conquest; this article was also intended to contextualize the Countryside National Course Book Program (PNLD Rural, in Portuguese) in order to better understand the reality of the Brazilian countryside; lastly, there was a data survey about students’ and teachers’ experiences, comparing them to the reflexions on some theoretic references. This research showed that, despite the fact that PNLD Rural aims at handing out books that suit the countryside’s specificity, some works do not take into account the multigrade organization in place or do not relate, in a relevant way, to the countrymen in their struggles with perpetuation of identity and culture.
