Mukanda Tiodora: redefining the Margins Between Orality and Writing
This article examines how Mukanda Tiodora (2022), by Marcelo D’Salete, reclaims Afro-Brazilian memory through epistolary narrative, visual aesthetics, and peripheral cultural references. The graphic novel challenges cultural hegemony by linking São Paulo’s 1866 history to contemporary struggles, positioning writing as a tool of resistance and identity. Grounded in Munanga, Hall, Gilroy, Nora, and Fanon, the study highlights the work as a visual and textual manifesto that reclaims the periphery as a center of cultural production and identity reconstruction.

The AfroQueer Struggle: The Seeds of Amílcar Cabral
The article draws on poetic metaphors evoking Amílcar Cabral's legacy as seeds of struggle and resistance, in space and time, to explore the continuity of his vision in contemporary AfroQueer struggles. The text examines how ideas of internal struggle, collective resistance, and decolonization remain fertile in contexts of intersectional oppressionsfaced by AfroQueer individuals. The seeds planted by Cabral germinate in the deconstruction of patriarchal and heterocisnormative norms, fostering spaces of resistance, freedom, and justice.

“A minha poesia sou eu” – from Cabral poet to the combatant Amílcar: echoes of national liberation in Guinean literature
This paper revisits the historical-political path of Amílcar Cabral and observes how his thinking literaryly influenced the formulation of a combat/revolutionary poetry. For that, we use as object of reflection the tribute-poems recorded in the poetic antology Mantenhas para quem luta! (1974). From these reflections, the result that this work reveals the face of a living-myth whose influence on the arrangements of the armed struggle of national liberation continue to echo in Guinean literature.

Indigenous Literature and the right to Epistemic Justice: reflections from educational policies and historical reparation
In this article, we discuss the importance of contemporary indigenous literature to processes of "historical" and "epistemic” justice. To do so, we first analyze the main concerns that distinguish this literary production – their link to indigenous socio-political movements, and their specific manner of understanding authorship – to understand their roles in two fundamental dimensions of the battle against the historical violence suffered by indigenous populations: formal schooling and the processes of political reparation.
