Sinopse

Paulo Freire addresses topics ranging from literacy to agrarian reform in this essential book for understanding the obstacles to true social justice.

For Paulo Freire, studying cannot be synonymous with a mechanized repetition of content. His method, in which literacy is the formation of citizens, is always guided by concrete action, by the oppressed class becoming aware of their true condition.

In "Cultural Action for Freedom and Other Writings ," a compilation of texts written between 1968 and 1974, Freire shows why, in such a mechanistic period, true pedagogy is one that constantly focuses on the student's expressiveness, on the exercise of their critical understanding of society, and not on their complacency. After all, he says, "what positive benefit can a peasant or urban worker derive for their work in the world [...] from literacy work in which they are sweetly told that the 'wing belongs to the bird' or that 'Eve saw the grape'?"

The Freirean method is, therefore, a method that contributes to the process of human liberation. By understanding the profound meaning of the word and seeking to assimilate the world through new expressions, the student becomes capable of transforming their surroundings and creating culture, knowing the full extent of their actions.

Paulo Freire's role as an educator, philosopher of education, and humanist is widely recognized in Brazil and abroad, and his work is considered essential to all who dedicate themselves to teaching. Given the relevance of the texts that comprise Cultural Action for Freedom and Other Writings , it's not difficult to understand why.

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.

Throughout 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.

Sobre o autor

Paulo Freire

Em 1963, em Angicos, interior do Rio Grande do Norte, trezentos trabalhadores rurais foram alfabetizados em apenas 40 horas, pelo método proposto por Paulo Freire. Esse foi o resultado do projeto-piloto do que seria o Programa Nacional de Alfabetização do governo de João Goulart, presidente que viria a ser deposto em março de 1964. Em outubro desse mesmo ano, Freire deixou o Brasil para proteger a própria vida. Apenas voltou a visitar o país em 1979, com a abertura democrática.

Ao longo de sua história, Paulo Freire recebeu mais de cem títulos de doutor honoris causa, de diversas universidades nacionais e estrangeiras, além de inúmeros prêmios, como Educação para a Paz, da Unesco, e Ordem do Mérito Cultural, do governo brasileiro. Integra o International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame e o Reading Hall of Fame.
