Abstract

The Brazilian educational law protects disabled people in different ways, but such protection also shows weaknesses in the inclusion of those individuals, because we carry a huge historical debt of social exclusion. It is necessary for public policies to assist those subjects through the valuation of the effective instruments in this process of inclusion. In the case of deaf communities, the "Libras" has great social importance once it established itself as a communication opportunity. The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between the consolidation of "Libras" in recent decades with the construction of the deaf collective identity. It was pursued to better understand the social dynamics of the integration of deaf people in society through "Libras", thus, it was possible to understand that it is an important tool in the deaf insertion process in society and an important achievement for the affirmation of identity and deaf culture.
