Abstract
Muniz Sodré’s most recent book, Reinventing Education: diversity, decolonization and networks, analyzes historical aspects of pedagogy in Brazil from a trans-disciplinary perspective and it proposes an urgent redefinition of the role of the school and the teacher in the context of a hypertextual culture and the prevelance of the virtual bios. Considering that today’s youths base their life experiences on “eternal entertainment”, particularly through media, there is, countering this trend, the arduous reality of the education dilemma encountered in Latin American countries, which needs to be analyzed from the standpoint of cultural diversity and the criticism of the homogenizing and universal thinking prevalent in modern life.
