World Latin American Agenda 2012 In its category, the Latin American book most widely distributed inside and outside the Americas each year. A sign of continental and global commuion among individuals and communities excited by and commited 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 Our cover image, by Maximino CEREZO BARREDO Sumak Kawsay, the Good Life, that is to say the ances- tral Indigenous utopia of the Indigenous people of Abya Yala, which was ignored and set aside—if not suffocated— by the colonizers, inspired and sustained Indigenous strug- gle and resistance. Today it is revived through the self- affirmation of these peoples in their determination to put it on the table and offer to the Continent this contribution to the construction of a New Society, above all at this time when we see the failure of the model of unlimited develop- ment, of “always living better,” of “living better than the others” and of “at the expense of nature.” Mino Cerezo rounds out that global, harmonious, com- plete, rounded vision that brings together heaven and earth, nature and humanity, animals, vegetables and hu- mans, as a place for everyone, including St. Francis’ Brother Wolf, the threatened whale, the lion and the lamb of Isa- iah, the dove of peace and the olive leaf... Sumak kawsay (in the Quichua of Ecuador). Suma qamaña (Aymara). Teko porã (Guaraní). Küme mogen (Mapuche of Chile y Argentina). Other resources: Primer, courses, digital Archive, etc. Cfr. page 239. 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/2012/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. 2 PERSONAL DATA Name: ....................................................................................................
