Indigenous literature: cultural aspects in the poems of Márcia Kambeba

Abstract

Our aim was to identify how cultural plurality and diversity are dealt with in Ay Kakyry Tama: Eu moro na cidade (2020), by indigenous writer Márcia Kambeba. To do this, we started with the following problem: how are cultural plurality and diversity presented in the aforementioned work? Our research is bibliographical with a qualitative approach. We are based on: Moraes (1997), Cohn (2001), Costa (2005), Mota (2008), Almeida (2011), Thiél and Quirino (2011), Lima (2020) and Kambeba (2020). The research allowed us to see the need to promote indigenous culture in non-indigenous schools from early childhood education, to make progress in overcoming the prejudice and discrimination faced by these peoples. We could see that cultural plurality and diversity are treated with express value and respect in Kambeba's work. The author praises and recognizes the contribution of indigenous peoples to culture and society in general.
