Paulo Freire and the cultures of Abya Yala
Abstract:
Many native peoples of the continent of “Abya Yala”, as well as of the African and southern continents, were decimated or subalternized by the violent processes of colonization and enslavement imposed throughout history. However, their worldviews resist and re-exist in multiple ways. Through intense and sensitive listening, we can learn from these peoples to reestablish our ways of life and production according to ancestral principles, which we indicate here with the concept of “Well Living”, which can be summarized in its principles of relationality, complementarity, reciprocity and integrality.
The epistemo-pedagogical principles formulated by Paulo Freire show an intimate relationship with the educational principles inherent to the cultures of the native peoples.
Paulo Freire elaborated his pedagogical conception using cultural references of western critical theories. But his engagement with popular social movements was a process by which he most likely enabled him to learn from epistemological perspectives on the cultures of ancestral peoples revived by popular communities in Latin America.
