Folk Amazon Collection V. 1

This work offers an immersion into studies on Folkcommunication in the Amazon, bringing together research that values popular communication from the perspective of the territory itself and its cultural experiences.

The book highlights the richness of Amazonian manifestations through music, popular literature, community traditions, and everyday practices that construct meanings, identities, and distinctive ways of narrating reality.

The chapters address themes such as *Bumba meu Boi*, cordel literature, the practices of artisanal fishers, affirmative policies in higher education, quilombola identities, and the sociocultural issues of the Sateré-Mawé Indigenous peoples, demonstrating a commitment to inclusion and the defense of rights.

The work also reflects on the theoretical and methodological paths of research in Folkcommunication, with an emphasis on oral history, ethnography, and listening to subjects. The result of a collective and multidisciplinary effort, the book contributes to strengthening studies on culture and communication in the Amazon and inspires new investigations at the intersections of territory, identity, and popular communication.
