RODRIGUEZ, Lidia M.; MARIN, Carlos; MORENO, Silvia M.  and  RUBANO, María del C.. Paulo Freire: A Pedagogy from Latin America. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2007, n.34, pp.129-171. ISSN 1851-1716.

In this paper a survey is made through the work of Paulo Freire, whose thought was a rich contribution to the field of Education during the Twentieth Century. Our effort to historicize it took us to go along the intellectual course of that Brazilian pedagogue from his first working experiences in Brazil, through the ones he held in Chile and some African countries undergoing decolonization processes, and back to his home country when the political conditions allowed it, where he was engaged with the proposals of the Party of the Workers (Partido de los Trabajadores -PT-). The research aimed to recover some of the richer aspects of Freire's contributions in order to connect them to specific educational problems of youngsters and adults and to theoretical developments related to communication and culture.

Keywords : Popular education; Pedagogical alternatives; Adults' education; Educational Philosophy; History of Education.
