Reducing social inequalities: capabilities in maintaining human security / Reduzindo as desigualdades sociais: as capacidades na manutenção da segurança humana (republicação em livro)

This text is the result of academic research aimed at finding viable ways to reduce social inequalities in the Brazilian context through education. Our main focus was the search for ways to reduce violence through education and the ways in which education can promote human development and security in general. To achieve this goal with clarity and consistency, I address both theoretical and practical issues. The theoretical part clarifies essential concepts and establishes the background for the rest of the work. The practical part is an application of these concepts in the Brazilian educational setting.
