Abstract

“Pedagogias de(s)coloniais: Saberes e fazeres” is a collective authorship book published in 2020. It brings together the work of Argentinian, Brazilian and Bolivian researchers on the question of the decolonizing pedagogies. This review highlights the book´s contribution in terms of: the academic and practical importance of these pedagogies in challenging the modern/colonial pattern that persists in Latin America; the approach taken, from and within experiences, where theories and practices are interwoven in multiple spheres that include extension, teaching and life itself; the conceptual, epistemological and methodological insights into decolonizing pedagogies from a pluralistic and situated perspective that denounces the articulation of oppression and offers the possibility of transformation. The visibility of experiences from diverse territories, expressed in many registers, means that this book constitutes a disruption of traditional pedagogy.
