This book covers the results of investigation of social realities and their public representation in Brazilian poor communities, with a particular emphasis on the use of cultural tools to survive and create psychological and social novelty under conditions of severe poverty. A relevant part of it brings together the multi-faceted evidence of a decade of research concentrated in two particular low-income areas in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. Other studies conducted in other Brazilian areas and in Cali, Colombia are included. In contrast to most representations of poverty in the social sciences which create a “calamity story” of the lives of poor people, the coverage in this book is meant to balance the focus on harsh realities with the cultural-psychological resiliency of individuals and families under poverty.

À côté de la violence et de la drogue, les abus sexuels comptent aujourd’hui parmi les situations qui inquiètent le plus les parents concernant leurs enfants. En particulier à l’école. Comment en est-on arrivé là ? Pourquoi l’école, longtemps considérée comme un sanctuaire protégé, est-elle devenue l’objet de tous les soupçons ? Et surtout comment doit-elle aujourd’hui aborder la sexualité pour éviter les dérives ? Voici l’histoire de deux siècles d’embarras de l’école française vis-à-vis de la sexualité des enseignants et des élèves. Claude Lelièvre est professeur d’histoire de l’éducation à l’université Paris-V. Il a notamment publié Histoire des institutions scolaires, L’École à la française en danger ?, Histoire de la scolarisation des filles (avec Françoise Lelièvre) et L’École des présidents (avec Christian Nique). Francis Lec est avocat à la cour, ancien bâtonnier de l’ordre des avocats d’Amiens. Il est notamment avocat-conseil de la Fédération des autonomes de solidarité laïque.
