O mais importante destas narrativas, que trazem para o centro da discussão os excluídos sociais, é o lócus (além de geográfico, também espaço social e afetivo) de onde fala o autor (lugar de enunciação), bem como a sua intenção que, não raro, dedica-se à defesa das causas e das experiências dos oprimidos, criando, deste modo, uma escritura de testemunho. Exemplos desta produção são as obras de escritores como Luiz Alberto Mendes, que escreveu o romance Memórias de um sobrevivente, e de outros relatos de presos, como a coletânea de contos Letras de liberdade, ou ainda Literatura Marginal: talentos da escrita periférica,

Today’s attempted coup has been years in the making as Donald Trump consistently spews venom, conspiracies, hate and lies to his supporters. They are carrying out his wishes, and far too many Republican lawmakers have enabled and even encouraged this violent threat to our republic. Emboldened by an Electoral College system that creates an avenue for insurrection instead of simply certifying the candidate with the most votes, this is an effort to violate the constitutional rights of every law-abiding American and the labor movement will not stand for it. Not today. Not ever. ACTORS' EQUITY This is what white supremacy looks like. This is an attempt to undermine the votes of millions of people of color. We must not let it happen.
