Abstract

This review analyzes the book Paulo Freire: A prática da liberdade, para além da alfabetização, by Venício Artur de Lima, in which Freire’s beliefs on topics related to human freedom are debated, going beyond his pedagogy for adult literacy and highlighting his contribution to other fields of knowledge, such as communication and culture. The text also comments on the educator’s life influences, as well as the triad dialogue, violence and liberation featured in his work, while emphasizing the importance of Lima's work, which echoes Freire's, for Brazilian society.
