"Violence and Education" is an insightful non-fiction book that explores the complex relationship between violence and education. The author, Helena Taeko Okuma, analyzes how knowledge and education can serve as means to overcome violence. Through a critical engagement with the theories of Peter Berger, Thomas Luckmann, and Theodor Adorno, the book illuminates the role of language, historical processes, and social mechanisms in the construction of reality and subjectivity. It offers an in-depth analysis of academic productions in Brazil and demonstrates how societal problems and solutions are influenced by education and cultural appropriation. The argument is made that an expanded awareness is necessary to avoid violent decisions and that education plays a key role in personal and societal development. This work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the topics of violence, education, and social change.
