loping countries, which are broken down again in the geographical index. Each of the 2533 titles is also accompanied by a brief summary in French and English, which provides further details on the content of the referenced title. Book and journal publications from the years 1950 to 1969 are included, whereby the period between 1950 and 1960 is only partially covered, according to the authors. The actual annotated bibliography is preceded by an analytical plan which, in no less than 14 pages, attempts to cover the entire field of journalism in developing countries, from theory to press, radio, film, television and audiovisual media. At the same time, according to this plan, the relevant numbers of the titles published in the bibliography are given on pages 15 to 36, making it much easier to work through the topics. The analytical plan, like the entire work, is written in French and English, whereby the original working language was French - which is made clear in various places by obvious ‘translations’. In addition to publications from the French and English language areas, titles from the Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese language areas are also included. It is clear that with the use of so many languages, some printing errors creep into titles and bibliographical details, although these do not necessarily prevent the original from being found. In the introduction to this extensive work, it is specifically pointed out that no claim is made to completeness, which could hardly be achieved with publications from the non-English and non-French language areas in particular. Nevertheless, this is probably the most comprehensive bibliography on the subject to date." (Review by Franz-Josef Eilers in: Communicatio Socialis, vol. 6, 1973, no. 1, page 88)

Cada um deles, a seu modo, ao mesmo tempo em que inventaria o pensamento de Paulo Freire, percorrendo seu trabalho por meio de viva interlocução, paráfrases e citações, também compulsa essa extraordinária herança em perspectiva prospectiva, isto é, projetando (atente-se para o étimo pro-jectu, “lançado para diante”) o desejo de uma sociedade mais justa, mais feliz, mais humana."

tory communication worldwide and was decisive for the review of diffusion models, which took communication as a tool to guide the reproduction of models considered modern and developed, without paying attention to local experiences and knowledge. Approached more broadly, the transversality of communication in Freire’s pedagogical perspective can be discussed from at least three perspectives. The first combines language, education and communication. The second links education and communication with popular mobilization and, more openly, with processes of political engagement. The third stems from Freire’s own critical positioning in relation to the media. These three inflections will be discussed in more detail throughout the material compiled in this edition of MATRIZes." (Introduction, page 5)

Para Freire, cada ser humano tiene un conocimiento único que complementa el conocimiento de todos sus pares; por tanto, sólo el horizonte de la colectividad, fundada en el respeto a la igualdad en la diversidad, lleva a la verdadera liberación. Hablando sobre el papel de la Iglesia católica en este proceso, valorando su perspectiva profética, dijo: “Sabe igualmente que no existe ‘yo soy’, ‘yo sé’, ‘yo me libero’, yo ‘me salvo’; como no existe “yo te doy conocimientos”, “yo te libero”, “yo te salvo”; al contrario, “somos”, “sabemos”, “nos liberamos”, “nos salvamos.” (Nota editorial, page 3)
