"Until the lions have their own historians, the hunting stories will continue to glorify the hunter." The ancient African proverb poses a nuisance: why are some stories legitimated as true and more prominent than others, constructing supposedly unique representations? This research aims to reflect the socioeconomic and epistemic subalternation process (SPIVAK, 2014) of the centenary Poço da Draga community, located on the seafront of the city of Fortaleza (CE), highlighting the impacts of this inequality on the territory. Low income area susceptible to urban recovery and land regularization, the community is invisible between cultural equipment and luxury trade in Praia de Iracema, suffering constant removal threats by the public authority and marginalization by other social actors. In a dialogue with the cartographic method, I search for narratives about the right to the city (HARVEY, 2012; ROLNIK, 2015) developed by resident's association ProPoço Movement and Velaumar NGO regarding this specific locality, expanding a theoretical debate concerning the webs of influence and powers on the production of urban space, oral histories (PORTELLI, 2016), local knowledge (MIGNOLO, 2003) and frontier thinking (id.) from a decolonial perspective. Finally, I discuss the contribution of this grammar of resistance conceived in Poço da Draga for the development of human urban planning (MIRAFTAB, 2016), that is, also carried out by socioeconomically vulnerable groups. Keywords: Decoloniality; Right to the City; Fortaleza; Narratives; Poço da Draga; Subalternity.
