| Abstract: | In the context of Latin America’s resistance to hegemonic
power relations, several subaltern movements emerged
with their own educational projects and pedagogies. The
Brazilian Landless Peasant Movement (MST) adopted a
model of “popular education” which was recognized as a political actor endeavouring to counter colonial injustices
and ongoing forms of neo-colonial violence.
By applying a 4Rs analytical framework (cf. Novelli et al.,
2017), the paper analyses how the movement’s aims,
philosophy, organisation, and role of popular education
have been able to promote social justice and peacebuilding
processes, at the same time discussing constraints and
limits encountered. Vários movimentos proletariados com projetos educacionais e pedagogias próprias surgiram no contexto da resistência às relações hegemônicas de poder na América Latina. No Brasil, o Movimento Sem Terra (MST) adotou um modelo de “educação popular” pelo qual foi reconhecido como ator político. O movimento pretendia enfrentar as injustiças coloniais e as formas de violência pós-colonial. Aplicando um quadro analítico chamado 4Rs (cf. Novelli et al., 2017), o artigo analisa como os objetivos, a filosofia, a organização e o papel da educação popular do movimento têm sido capazes de promover justiça social e processos de construção da paz e, ao mesmo tempo, discute restrições e limites encontrados. |
