Narratives of education and resistance

This book discusses the practice of popular narratives (from the experience of the griô master Dona Sirley, from the city of Pelotas, in Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil), as an educational process and resistance today. Based on the methodological assumptions of the case study, participant observation and narrative interview, the study works with the following question: can the practice of popular narratives, through a specific subject, be apprehended as an educational process and resistance? In the context of this discussion, authors such as Walter Benjamin, Homi Bhabha and Pedrinho Guareschi are used, approaching them from the perspective of Peter McLaren's Critical Pedagogy and Henry Giroux. Finally, the practice of griô storytelling is presented, as an educational process and a process of resistance within the framework of a Pedagogy of the Border.
