Sinopse

Letters to Guinea-Bissau is a record of Paulo Freire's work in building an adult literacy model in that country. Written and compiled in 1976 and 1977, it is a moving book that exudes the true meaning of helping—the kind of help everyone offers, growing together in the shared effort to understand the reality they seek to transform.

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.

"There's something I think is important to emphasize: the degree of freedom students have in their participation in the work. One group, for example, that seriously dedicates itself to growing flowers at Simão Mendes Hospital, considers the message of life that a rose can bring daily to the sick. They love the roses they plant as much as the land they prepare for planting fruit trees. Their love of life is connected to the effort of revolutionary reconstruction of their society."

Sobre o autor

Paulo Freire

Paulo Freire (Recife, 1921 – São Paulo, 1997), em 1963, em Angicos, interior do Rio Grande do Norte, coordenou uma equipe que alfabetizou trezentos trabalhadores rurais em apenas quarenta horas. Esse foi o 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, recebeu 42 títulos de doutor honoris causa, além de títulos de professor emérito, distinguished educator e investigador emérito, 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.
