Para os iniciantes sobre os temas deste livro, vale destacar que não se trata apenas de uma pesquisa, mas também de um ensaio teórico–metodológico sobre a pesquisa. E este processo é realizado a partir de vários exemplos concretos das escolas do MST. Estamos muito acostumados a ver escolas geridas por governos e empresas, mas o que são as escolas geridas por movimentos socioterritoriais? Aqui você tem oportunidade de saber através de uma pesquisa qualificada. Vai compreender como uma classe social cria um projeto completo de educação, teoria e política, escola e professores, conhecimento e transformação.
Paulo Freire é um desses homens de verdes orelhas. Um adulto que não deixou morrer a sua "meninice" e, justamente por isso, nunca deixou de se inquietar com as "coisas" do mundo, de perguntar e perguntar-se, de sonhar, de amar, de acreditar na alegria e de encantar-se. Suas verdes orelhas levaram-no a muitas andarilhagens, o que o tornou mundialmente conhecido. Homenageado em inúmeras universidades brasileiras e estrangeiras, é o educador que mais recebeu títulos honoris causa. Seu livro Pedagogia do Oprimido é a terceira obra mais citada na área de humanidades no mundo, segundo Elliot Green, professor da London School of Economics. Sua obra é estudada em diversos centros educacionai...
Em momento tão emblemático de ataques a democracia, aos direitos sociais e ao trabalhador, esse livro se apresenta como um brado pela existência e resistência. Existência de múltiplas e diferentes condições e modos de ser, de agir e pensar, de produzir a vida humana, transformada cotidianamente no movimento histórico. Brado de existência das múltiplas e diferentes infâncias, em especial, a infância vivida no campo e no seio de um movimento social como o MST. Brado de resistência a situação caótica brasileira permeada por uma dura crise que antes da atual sanitária, é também política, social e econômica. São muitos e importantes os exemplos de brados de existência e resistência presentes na luta dos Sem Terra e dos Sem Terrinha do MST. Desde a luta primeira pela terra (reforma agrária), até a luta por escola, saúde, financiamento e todas as que se fizerem necessárias para o estabelecimento de condições de vida dignamente humana. Em meio a esse turbilhão, a Ciranda Infantil e os Sem Terrinhas são sementes de esperança.
Famous Brazilian educational and social theorist Paulo Freire presents his ideas on the importance of community solidarity in moving toward social justice in schools and society. In a set of talks and interviews shortly before his death, Freire addresses issues not often highlighted in his work, such as globalization, post-modern fatalism, and the qualities of educators for the 21st century. His illuminating comments are supplemented with commentaries by other well-known scholars, such as Ana Maria Araujo Freire, Walter de Oliveira, Norman Denzin, Henry Giroux, and Donaldo Macedo.

Review: "Unlike Machiavelli-inveterate dreamer and cynic-Guicciardini's mind is remarkable for the balance and masterly coolness of its judgment."-Federico Chabod "In the history of Renaissance thought, Guicciardini's Ricordi occupy a place of singular importance. Few works of the sixteenth century allow us so penetrating an insight into the views and sentiments of its author as these reflections of the great Italian historian. . . . Like Machiavelli's Prince, the Ricordi form one of the outstanding documents of a time of crisis and transition; but unlike the Prince, they range over a wide field of private as well as public life. In doing so, they revel the man as well as the political theorist."-Nicolai Rubenstein, from the Introduction.
