"This book is a first approach to the meaning of historical-critical pedagogy. The process of elaborating on this pedagogical current is underway, with contributions from different scholars. As for me, I am engaged in a long-range research project, conducted at an irregular pace, with no deadline to finish; an investigation that aims to trace the course of education from its remote origins, guided by the concept of 'mode of production'. It is a matter of explaining how changes in the forms of production of human existence have historically generated new forms of education, which, in turn, influenced the process of transforming the corresponding mode of production. The aim is to reveal the bases on which historical-critical pedagogy rests to enable a consistent configuration of the entire education system from the point of view of this conception of education."
This two-volume compendium brings together leading scholars from around the world who provide authoritative studies of the old and new epistemic motifs and theoretical strands that have characterized the interdisciplinary field of comparative and international education in the last 50 years. It analyses the shifting agendas of scholarly research, the different intellectual and ideological perspectives and the changing methodological approaches used to examine and interpret education and pedagogy across different political formations, societies and cultures.
Brazil is a rapidly emerging country. Brazilian theology, namely the Theology of Liberation, has become well known in the 1970s and 1980s. The politically active Base Ecclesial Communities and the progressive posture of the Roman Catholic Church contrasted with a steadily growing number of evangelicals, mostly aligned with the military regime but attractive precisely to the poor. After democratic transition in the mid-1980s, the context changed considerably. Democracy, growing religious pluralism and mobility, a vibrant civil society, the political ascension of the Worker's Party and growing wealth, albeit within a continuously wide social gap, are some of the elements that show the need of ...
The Unwritten Brazilian Constitution offers an unexplored topic outside Portuguese language: the leading cases on human rights in the Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal – STF). The Brazilian Constitution of 1988 represents an institutional framework able to restructure the relationship between the powers after the military dictatorship. The constituents drafted the Brazilian Constitution in order to set an extensive system of judicial protection for fundamental rights, by means of several instruments that have strengthened access to the Judiciary. Because the Brazilian Constitution has an extensive list of fundamental rights, the STF was called to interpret them several times and it developed an unwritten understanding of these fundamental rights. These decisions are not available to the international community since they are not translated to English. Based on this gap, this original book illustrates the main rulings on human rights analyzed by great scholars in Brazil. The text presents a deep discussion regarding the characteristics of the cases and demonstrates how the STF has built the legal arguments to interpret the extension of the fundamental rights.

Sabe-se que as pesquisas no campo da História da Educação brasileira, frequentemente, dão maior relevo às questões macro da educação, como as grandes reformas educacionais, a profissão docente, os métodos e as formas institucionalizadas de ensino, reservando menor espaço às questões locais. A obra Políticas públicas de educação local no âmbito do federalismo pós-Constituição de 1946 propõe um movimento inverso. Ela decorre de uma tese de doutorado, tendo como objeto de estudo as políticas públicas de educação no município de Vitória da Conquista, no período entre 1945 e 1963, e as mudanças ocorridas na educação local decorrentes dessas. Assim sendo, este traba...
