Struggles for memory and social-justice education in Latin America
2010
Jones, Lauren Ila | Torres, Carlos Alberto
Popular-education programmes conducted by social movements are reshaping politics and education in Latin America. Negotiating with governments, they promote social justice while educationally challenging ‘neo-liberal’ educational standardisation. Moving from a defensive towards an offensive strategy, some movements support themselves economically while developing new educational strategies. They encounter both support and opposition from the social democratic governments in the region. They are at odds with the international bilateral and multilateral organisations that promote neo-liberal top–down policies, and some of these new social movements have moved beyond social action in specific regions and national borders creating regional alliances for their struggle.
