It is a clarion call against the evil of neoliberalism, contained in its fatalism, which denies the humanization and liberation of human beings, proclaiming the \"death of History,\" of utopia, and of dreams. It brings together 16 essays by Paulo Freire, with a foreword by Ladislau Dowbor, and an introduction and notes by Ana Maria Araújo Freire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In 1963, in Angicos, in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte, three hundred rural workers were taught to read and write in just 40 hours using the method proposed by Paulo Freire. This was the result of the pilot project of what would become the National Literacy Program under the government of João Goulart, the president who would later be deposed in March 1964. In October of that same year, Freire left Brazil to protect his own life. He only returned to the country in 1979, with the democratic opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThroughout his career, Paulo Freire has received more than one hundred honorary doctorates from various national and international universities, as well as numerous awards, including the UNESCO Education for Peace Award and the Brazilian government's Order of Cultural Merit. He is a member of the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame and the Reading Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"My new reading of my world also demands a new language—one of possibility, open to hope. And in the moment we live in, finding ourselves so vulnerable and fragile in the face of unattainable powers—the collision of an asteroid with Earth, the tragedy of AIDS, the possibility of having my small backyard surveyed from another part of the world—hope becomes absolutely indispensable to existence in a world of doubt and suspicion. On the one hand, difficult to have, to maintain, to reinforce; on the other, impossible to exist without it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176771371260,"sku":"9788577534388","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/b574841b4ce18fb2dd47da868161e846_7fa83e6f-70e9-44e0-a11c-c34fcbfc466e.jpg?v=1778312620","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/a-sombra-desta-mangueira","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
