The aim of this article is to analyze how contemporary Amerindian literature broaches issues of identity. The essay will focus on two texts: Metade cara metade máscara by Eliane Potiguara and Todas as coisas são pequenas by Daniel Munduruku. Whereas Potiguara's book is a hybrid composition that mixes mythical discourse, poetry and personal testimony, Munduruku's text is closer to the model of the baroque novel as described by Bakhtin. Through the analysis of these two books, the article demonstrates that Amerindian authors are initiating a new literary tradition in Brazil.
