COLARES DA MOTA-NETO, João. Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda in the Genealogy of Latin American Decolonic Pedagogy. Folios [online]. 2018, n.48, pp.3-13. ISSN 0123-4870.

The paper aims to discuss the contributions that popular educators Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda provided, through their work and their political and intellectual trajectories, to the formulation of a decolonial pedagogy in Latin America. The fundamental question guiding this study is: What is the legacy of Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda for the constitution of a decolonial pedagogy in Latin America? The data was obtained through a theoretical investigation in the fields of cultural history and the comparative history of Latin American social thought. The primary sources are the works of Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda, written at different times of their intellectual trajectories. The paper has two main parts other than the introduction and final considerations: in the first part, we briefly present the conception of decolonial pedagogy adopted; in the second part, and based on this conception, we look for the core of the contributions of Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda to the formulation of a Latin American decolonial pedagogy.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; Orlando Fals Borda; decolonial pedagogy; popular education; Latin America.
