Por uma educação feminista na Amazônia: diálogos entre Paulo Freire e Bell Hooks

Resumen

Abstract

The objective of this article is to discuss educational practices that attempt to deal with the oppression experienced by women in the Amazonian territory, based on the thinking of the American activist Bell Hooks and the Brazilian pedagogue Paulo Freire. In the encounter between the thoughts of these two intellectuals, it is sought to identify the points of convergence of their writings in the direction of a feminist pedagogy, committed to criticism, dialogue and amorousness within a pedagogical process directed at women in the Amazon region. This is a bibliographical research. Among the results is that Bell Hooks and Paulo Freire share their knowledge and experiences with the oppressed and sew a pedagogy with a sense of justice. Pedagogy that allows criticism and indignation at the violence and dehumanization that women suffer in the social context in Amazonia.

Keywords: Feminist education; Paulo Freire; Bell Hooks; Amazonian Region.
