Description

In this article, the authors discuss the importance of education policies that aim at diminishing social disparities in poor countries, focusing on a program in higher education developed in the state of Rondonia in the Brazilian Amazon. Rondonia is a region in which people have suffered deeply from the consequences of social inequalities. Many Brazilian social and economic policies historically have ignored regional needs. The education program discussed is at the graduate level and was developed between 1997-2000. The authors hope that such programs will lead to a revision of education priorities in poor countries and reduce social disparities, suggesting that where there exists the political will it is possible to establish emancipating social actions--even in poverty-stricken areas. Moreover, this work calls attention to the fact that the achievement of such a task requires discussion about the discursive practice brought forward by those who have social and economic power over residents of excluded regions that are considered "inferior." The viewpoint of the excluded must be considered.
