IUB ARAM visa entregar na mão de seus leitores a história do nascimento de uma nova lenda, apresentando a trajetória de Samuel Pereira, um professor da rede pública do ensino fundamental, nascido na cidade de Santa Isabel, São Paulo. Através de referências folclóricas e indígenas, cada página deste livro destacará o valor que cada brasileiro encontra ao conhecer mais da sua própria terra. Essa obra não se limita apenas em apresentar os contos e personagens já conhecidos do nosso folclore, mas também pretende entregar ao leitor a oportunidade de conhecer uma nova lenda, que acompanhará a memória das novas gerações. “Lecionar não é somente ensinar crianças, mas é um ato de resistência e respeito com uma cultura que nunca mereceu lutar para ser lembrada.” Aprender e valorizar a leitura é o combustível para levar este projeto às mãos de muitos que ainda precisam de referências nacionais e dizer a elas que toda história merece ser verdadeiramente vivida.
Populism is a growing threat to human rights. They are appropriated, distorted, turned into empty words or even their opposite. The contributors to this volume examine these practices using the example of freedom of religion or belief, a human right that has become a particular target of right-wing populists and extremists worldwide. The contributions not only show the rhetorical patterns of appropriation and distortion, but also demonstrate for various countries which social dynamics favor the appropriation in each case and propose how to strengthen human rights and the culture of debate in democratic societies.
