What is the indignation of which the title of this book, the last one written by Paulo Freire, speaks? In the case of his work, that indignation is far from the rage that exhausts itself. It is, rather, a political indignation that bets on collective construction and hope.

How to face the challenge of educating young people so that they do not become petty tyrants or inhibited beings? Parents and teachers have to explore a delicate tension: to give freedom and autonomy and at the same time to set limits, which are equivalent to caring for the common environment and respecting differences. Content is taught, but also ways of inhabiting the world, of interpreting it and of articulating projects of change that are translated into political action: the objective is not to "train" young people but to "form" them for an increasingly complex life. With extreme lucidity, Freire also speaks of violence among adolescents, which must be addressed seriously, without stigmatizing anyone, and of technological revolutions, which hinder the generational transmission of values and experiences.

The work of the committed teacher is not the only concern of Freire, who also analyzes the peaceful social struggles that seek transformation without falling into voluntarism, ecological awareness, literacy in the age of television, and adult education. The tone and the flow of the texts are testimony to the author's most persistent search: a dialogue of equals with the readers, the figure of true learning.
