World Latin American Agenda 2013 In its category, the Latin American book most widely distributed inside and outside the Americas each year. A sign of continental and global communion among individuals and communities excited by and committed to the Great Causes of the Patria Grande. An Agenda that expresses the hope of the world’s poor from a Latin American perspective. A manual for creating a different kind of globalization. A collection of the historical memories of militancy. An anthology of solidarity and creativity. A pedagogical tool for popular education, communication and social action. From the Great Homeland to the Greater Homeland. Our cover image, by Maximino CEREZO BARREDO I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the cor- porations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers con- quered. Thomas Jefferson, 1802. This year we remind you... We put the accent on vision, on attitude, on awareness, on education... Obviously, we aim at a practice. However our “charism” is to provoke the transformations of awareness necessary so that radically new practices might arise from another systemic vision and not just reforms or patches. We want to ally ourselves with all those who search for that transformation of conscience. We are at its service. This Agenda want to be, as always and even more than at other times, a box of materials and tools for popular education. Take a look also at «servicioskoinonia.org/teologiapopular», where we habitually publish our “courses of popular education.” latinoamericana.org/2013/info is the web site we have set up on the network in order to offer and circulate more material, ideas and pedagogical resources than can economically be accomodated in this paper version. As in the past, we will continue the complentarity between paper and elec- tronic versions.
