Drawing on the experience of Projecto Seringueiro (Project Rubber Tapper), Denis Heyck reveals how a radical education experiment designed simply to bring literacy to rubber tappers in the Amazon rainforests helped the members of a threatened community to claim their political rights and preserve their cultural heritage in the face of ferocious opposition. The rubber tappers'story shows that grassroots communities can organize, form alliances, and advocate on their own behalf—and that in the trajectory of empowerment, no tool is more important than that of education. |
