Appreciations

Argentine-Peruvian nationality, Isabel María Álvarez –educator, researcher and intercultural activist–, has sent us from Patagonia, where she lives and works, this comment born from the reading of “To keep walking”.

Thanks Isabel. Here we share these fruitful reflections:

It doesn’t matter how long the task takes when the purpose is so significant: to empower the people to recount themselves.
With the wise humility that characterizes his "being" in Earth, Alfredo Mires Ortiz shares his itinerary to the East - that direction from where the light comes - to advance in the decolonizing paradigm that we owe ourselves in the Andes and throughout the Abya Yala.

“To keep on walking” is a road map in which the empirical work –of eloquent and effective co-participation– flows with a mark of denunciation in a humanistic textuality that guides us and summons us to think our episteme from our own worldview, but with intercultural vocation.

A clear message of persistence (and not of resistance) that embodies in action the precise and precious postulate of Paulo Freire: “We all know something. We all ignore something. That's why we always learn. No one educates anybody, no one educates himself, men educate each other, mediated by the world. ”

An essential resource for reflection and analysis in the initial formation and in service of the teaching community of the Andean countries.
