The novel Torto Arado (2018) by the Brazilian writer Itamar Vieira Junior reveals the process of construction and reconstruction of an ethnic identity. Identity is marked by the will to reconstruct a syncretic rural candomblé memory, a variant of “candomblé de caboclo”), which as race: the discourse of economic empowerment (landowners, before diamonds and before them, gold), religion (Catholic and Evangelical), knowledge (Eurocentrism), the system of patriarchal domination. Torto Arado reveals that inequality begins in the type of bond established with the land. It is a novel that denounces the continuity of the enslavement system and the resistance of these minorities. It is situated as a watershed in Brazilian literature, transgressing, like a few other authors, the homogeneous discourse in its contemporary narrative.
