After long periods of military dictatorships, civil wars, and
economic instability, Latin America has changed face, and become
the foremost region for counter-hegemonic processes. This book
seeks to address contemporary paradigms of education and learning
in Latin America. Although the production of knowledge in the
region has long been subject to imperial designs and disseminated
through educational systems, recent interventions - from liberation
theology, popular education, and critical literacy to postcolonial
critique and decolonial options - have sought to shift the
geography of reason. Over the last decades, several Latin American
communities have countered this movement by forming some of the
most dynamic and organised forms of resistance: from the landless
movements in Brazil to the Zapatistas in the Chiapas region of
Mexico, from the indigenous social movements in Bolivia to
Venezuela's Chavistas, to mention but a few. The central question
to be addressed is how, in times of historical ruptures, political
reconstructions, and epistemic formations, the production of
paradigms rooted in 'other' logics, cosmologies, and realities may
renegotiate and redefine concepts of education, learning, and
knowledge. Consequently, this book transcends disciplinary,
epistemological, and methodological boundaries in education and
learning by engagement with 'other' paradigms. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the International
Journal of Lifelong Education.
