Abstract

This review aims to introduce the reader to the comic book Maramunhã – In the Land of Wanará (2024),
focusing on the allegory of Brazilian colonisation it embodies. To this end, authors such as Krenak (2018),
Tettamanzy (2018), Dorrico et al. (2018), Quijano (2005), Grosfoguel (2005) and Mignolo (2008) are
used as a basis for the analysis of Brazilian colonisation and the idea of decoloniality present in the
narrative. The aim is thus to demonstrate that this comic book possesses critical and historical potential,
serving not only to comply with Law No. 11,645 of 10 March 2008, but also to function as a vehicle for
promoting local indigenous culture and as a strong critique of the colonisation process.
