(Uruguayan Daniel Chavez of the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, Netherlands sent this message about the death of educationist Paulo Freire - Editor's Note )
A very sad news for all of us concerned about the ideals of
popular participation and alternative development. Paulo Freire, one
of the most vigorous, brilliant and original thinkers and militant of
this century, has died.
As somebody from the Brazilian Popular Movement wrote in Internet,
perhaps the best way to honour his memory is :
nunca nos esquecermos da dimensao revolucionaria dos processos educativos desenvolvidos pelos trabalhadores.
(never forget the revolutionary dimension of the educational
processes developed by the workers)
To Paulo, wherever you are, your inspiration remains.
