This study seeks to show how decolonial thinking, from the perspective of communication, built from the reality of Brazil and Latin America, serves to analyze an experience of organizing emigrants' alternative political struggles. For this, it is proposed a content analyze that shows how the themes communication, information and culture were constituted in four official documents of the group that formalize needs and record proposals for improving the lives of Brazilian emigrants abroad. The results point to ideas and concrete actions that allow us to visualize that, in the face of a colonial relationship, the experience from the global South contributes to another possible, emancipatory and renewing reality.

The close relationship between media, tourism and popular culture expanded the view of Luiz Beltrão's disciples, who from Folkcommunication, a genuinely Brazilian theory, observed the appropriation of cultural assets as tourist attractions through means of information and communication. Elements of local production as cultural, religious and gastronomic manifestations start to become salable products that impact mainly on the economy of the region. Thus, this research is based on pointing out the Queijada de Dona Marieta as a folkturistico element in the city of São Cristóvão, as a strategy for local development. The contribution of this debate is to strengthen the recognition of the Beltranian theory, as well as to expand the eyes of the disciples of Luiz Beltrão. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
