The Landless Peasant Movement and popular education : addressing postcolonial violence in Brazil
Year: 2022
Type: article
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.
