Böcker av Paulo Freire

It is impossible to disassociate Paulo Freire's thought, the practice and the trajectory itself of his life. This coherence, together with a political position that has always sought to build a freer and more just world through the constitution of the autonomy of its individuals through education, is portrayed in an exemplary way in the interviews and testimonials gathered in the present volume of the Coleção Encontros."I can see that school is terrible. But I don't that it is disappearing and is going to disappear. This is why I appeal to us, who have escaped the death of the school, change the school. My point is not to end it, it is to change it completely, to radically make it that a new being is born from it, as current as technology. I continue to fight in the sense of putting the school at the height of its time."
