In the kingdom of asunción, truká reigns: literacy practices in the indigenouscommunity

The present manuscript seeks to analyze the appropriation of the writing of the book “In the Kingdom of Assunção, Truká reigns” produced by the Indigenous Truká teachers in Pernambuco. The work is guided by the social and ethnographic perspective of literacy process and focuses as an object of study the appropriation of the writing of the book, the collective authorship of the teachers and the cultural hybridism, in light of the reviews of Canclini. The research reported here is part of the life experience of the teachers who recorded, for the first time, the version of the history of the Truká people, in search of the strengthening of their Indigenous identity. The analysis takes into account the experiences fomented in the writings, illustrations, and researches that compose this paper as a representation of local culture redesigned to understand the struggle for the identity affirmation of that Indigenous Community that means to be political and culturally engaging and resistant to the policy of denial.
