Nita, as she is affectionately known, also has a prestigious career: she holds a master's and doctorate in Education from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, a time when she was mentored by Paulo Freire. In 1986, both widowed, the then-friends from Recife reunited after years of estrangement. From the exchange of ideas and ideals about a liberating education, passion and love emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eNita and Paulo Freire were married for ten years, during which time she followed the writing of \u003cem\u003ePedagogy of Autonomy\u003c\/em\u003e —one of the educator's most widely read titles—and supported her husband in the production of three other important books: \u003cem\u003ePedagogy of Hope, Letters to Cristina\u003c\/em\u003e , and \u003cem\u003eIn the Shadow of This Mango Tree\u003c\/em\u003e . Having shared Paulo Freire's intellectual and personal intimacy for so many years, the natural path, after his passing, was to unfold her dedication as a wife into a mission she took upon herself with great pride: the dissemination of Freirean thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The author has a vast intellectual output in this field, having been a finalist for the prestigious Jabuti Prize in 2007 with her biography \u003cem\u003e, Paulo Freire: A Life Story\u003c\/em\u003e . She has also edited posthumous volumes, as well as several titles on Paulo Freire's understanding of the world and his way of being and thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOn the educator's 90th birthday, Editora Paz \u0026amp; Terra pays her an unprecedented tribute. Specially compiled for this edition are some of her previously unpublished writings, or those scattered across various publications. These are the result of numerous invitations she received to appear in books, magazines, and special editions, give lectures, and receive honors in honor of her life partner. The book always presents more contemporary readings that reflect on how Freirean pedagogy can help us resolve recent conflicts, such as political polarization in Brazil and global violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Furthermore, on a more intimate level, some interviews with the author were organized so that readers can feel even closer to Freire's affections. This is a necessary book for the history of Brazilian intellectuality, born of the most authentic beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"This excellent work by our beloved Nita Freire, Paulo Freire's widow, reminds us of two dimensions so well addressed by the late master and so relevant today: tolerance and violence. Paulo taught us that tolerance cannot mean tolerating, but rather respecting—accepting differences without turning them into disagreement.\" — Frei Betto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"Ana Maria Freire's text presents itself as a powerful theoretical tool for those who dream of and fight for an education that contributes to building a truly democratic and inclusive society.\" — Jose Clovis de Azevedo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “The beauty of the love they shared has as one of its fruits the excellence with which Nita keeps Paulo’s work alive.” — Ramón Flecha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “The descriptions that Nita Freire makes of the small daily dialogues she had with Paulo Freire, in the collaboration she provided him in the production of his texts, have a notable historical value — on par with Freire’s own historical value.” — Alípio Casali\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175298351356,"sku":"9786555480955","price":114.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/b57ea0591c4ef203101df705fbf54c20.jpg?v=1778323699","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/meu-dizeres-e-fazeres-em-torno-de-paulo-freire","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
