During the 1960s–1970s in Ecuador, Indigenous and peasant movements challenged the descriptions of rural life in government education programs while offering a space of transculture. Such space allows people to narrate human life with sensibilities different than, or non-aligned with, normalized cultural particularities of the ideal tacit “we” in national(ized) stories and texts. In the case studied, radiophonic schools, and community newspapers were spaces that challenged the project of “integration” of the “peasant” and “rural” lives into the nation. The chapter will examine the poem The Bread of Life as an otherwise-narrative and leap of invention of a rural self and discusses the storying of rural existence in relation to the national projects of “integration of peasants”.
