Abstract

The main goal of this dissertation is to explore how the historical, cultural, but also class, gender and generation narratives are built by the Brazilian Okinawan community. Through its various expressions dance, performance, publications and also thought other forms of sociability, we tried to understand the different ways that this group creates to understand and to deal with social inclusion and exclusion. We tried to portrait how this road is connected with a certain brazility and, at the same time, how they reiterate speeches that mark difference and autonomy. The methodology of this work is based on the debate known as native anthropology, and deals with its challenges. (AU)
