In the pages and chapters of the book you walk through the corners of Bolivia with indigenous voices and struggles, through a Chile and an Argentina that go through stories, struggles and disputes over public affairs in the midst of hostile contexts, through a Central America (El Salvador, Costa Rica and Mexico) that rescues a tremendous legacy of organizational and revolutionary processes, and for Colombia, which in its fight for peace, collects the voices of organized youth. At the same time, this construction takes up great thinkers and collective actors who have enriched the paths of Popular Education and Critical Pedagogies.

Thus, crossed by our Latin American history, by the distressing challenges and tensions that democracies go through today in each of our territories and contexts, by the conservative restorations that condition and surround us, Critical Pedagogies and Popular Education cannot but, according to what we have been seeing, that working in defense of the right to education that seems to be liquefying in several of our countries, they cannot help but put on the attire of a teacher to resist, from the state public school, the right to learn from children and young people and the right to be a teacher, to teach, of thousands of teachers who seem to want to be replaced by “educational leaders” and canned technological programs, with very good dividends for their importers.
