Reseña Elsa Freire y Paulo Freire: por una pedagogía de la convivencia de Nima Spigolon (2022)

Elsa Freire e Paulo Freire: por uma pedagogia da convivência , by Nima Spigolon (2022), is part of the “Elsa Freire Triptych”1, in which the author seeks to demonstrate the true importance and the possibility of inaugurating a feminine political-pedagogical canon in the work of Paulo Freire, based on Elsa Freire’s presence in his productions. Spigolon’s book arises from the research she began in her master’s thesis and continued in her doctoral thesis at the University of Campinhas. In this first part of the triptych, Spigolon will portray the family, love, and professional life of Elsa Costa Freire from the late 1940s until 1964, when she went into exile with her family.
