Since the 1970s, indigenous leaders, scholars, and communities organized movements which brought together native peoples from Brazil and Amazonia (Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia), who sought to politicize their struggles. This article demonstrates how the activist, militant literature of the indigenous peoples advances their fight for empowerment. By reviving the ancestral, communitarian, and shamanic tradition in their writings, the indigenous authors publicize and politicize the indigenous movement.
