Specialized in indigenous peoples, wants to regain territories

Mr. Puri, author and researcher of this book for Indigenous peoples, underwent eye surgery due to an eye disease.

We need to carefully analyze the current situation, but the way we publish books has not changed, and it is clear that we want to actively produce books.

Historian Alan Pachamama holds a PhD in cultural history from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), focusing on the preservation and promotion of Indigenous cultures.

Over the years, he has encountered the work of Indigenous writers both on and off campus but noticed that most of their work was not published by major publishers.

Therefore, Ali decided in 2016 to expand the new lecture project from which Pachama was born.

A New Project for Indigenous Peoples

In an interview with Mombe, Allen emphasized the importance of parental history.

“Tell this story as a lesson for my people,” he continues the story of the Puri people.

Pachamama, which means “motherland” in Quechua, is a bilingual publisher specializing in Indigenous literature.

This name was given in honor of his mother, Mrs. Jessie, who was a seamstress.

Urban historian Márcia Mura was a solid and natural choice for Memórias de Taekendo.

“This book is part of my doctoral thesis on popularity and cultural transmission,” says Marcia.

The coordinator of Colativo Mura, an organization that works to preserve the memory and identity of the ancestors of Porto Velho (RO), hopes that the publication will bring together many writers from across the country.

“Our journey includes history, memory, and consciousness. We are historians and face many challenges,” says Marcia Mura about her editorial work.

Allen creates books and publishes them on social media. According to editorial consultant Professor Shirley Rodriguez, Pachamama is different from others that come from smaller publishers.

Moreover, the works that transcend the boundaries of publishing and enter the political struggle “invite what is happening, honoring the environment and their ancestors.”
