of the 21st Century, figuring among the most quoted authors in the fields of Education
and Social Sciences all over the world. He is also a core reference to an infinite number
of grassroots and activist initiatives globally. This book celebrates his birth centennial
with a collection of 19 contributions from both experienced and young media and
communication scholars and activists working in 11 countries. They reflect and debate
Freire’s principles and ideas, revisiting their origins and interrogating their relevance to
current challenges and struggles. The result can be summarized as a claim for affect as
the core feature of social change and a tool for yielding resistance.
