DA MOTA NETO, João Colares y STRECK, Danilo R.. Roots of popular education in Latin America: contributions for a genealogy of decolonial pedagogical thinking. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.78, pp.207-223. Epub 19-Nov-2019. ISSN 1984-0411. https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.65353.
In this article, the objective is to reflect on the origins of a decolonial pedagogical thinking in Latin America, based on some of the main intellectual roots of the continent´s popular education. Understanding popular education as an “historical accumulation” that in the last two centuries is affirming itself as a movement of resistance and as a pedagogical discourse aligned with the popular sectors of society, the reflection brings to the debate the intellectual contributions of Paulo Freire (1921-1997) and Orlando Fals Borda (1925-2008). It is argued that the idea of popular education, in its historical trajectory, contributes significantly to the emergence of a decolonial pedagogy, capable of resisting to the subjection of knowledge and experiences of social agents marginalized by modernity/coloniality.
