Abstract

Thinking in “nuestramericana” key about epistemological and pedagogical processes necessarily leads to revalue the utopian principle of political orientation in the colonized countries. The indigenous populations, Afro-descendants, as well as the various to mixed races subjected to the colony, pose the ideal of realization of their freedom. Consequently, the objective of the reflection is to become aware of the historical process of construction of consciousness in the pedagogical practices that guided the idea of Our America; which set out to transform the existing conditions of oppression. The social organization in the course of history draws on a plurality of theoretical approaches that arrived in our territories and constitute an interweaving of pedagogies and exchange of experiences in the framework of globalization. The ideal gave shape to a thought of its own related to other processes of liberation. Our “Nuestra Americana” pedagogical practice was fused with the utopian dimension of emancipation; which  unfolds in alternatives and critical pedagogical, subversion and communality
