Since the appearance of anarchism, education has been the subject of great
concern among activists, because it takes part in the maintenance ortransformation of societies and their relations of domination. Anarchists wereearly aware of the essential place to be given to education in socialconflicts[1]. Infatuated with hope, revolt and freedom, they always askthemselves: how am I going to pass on my values and my ideas to the nextgeneration? It is not a question of tracing a path for it, nor of instilling init a new ready-to-think - freedom is too dear to us. Nevertheless, in the face ofissues such as exploitation and alienation, systemic oppressions, militarism andthe climate crisis, it is only natural for libertarians to encourage children toquestion dominant ideas and social realities. commonly accepted as natural and toexplore another way of thinking about the world oriented towards itstransformation. A conscious generation will be able to accomplish what appearsimpossible in the political field of our time.

The book uses the magnificentillustrations of a book published in Chile by Jorge Enkis with his permission.Some passages have also been translated and adapted from Spanish. The rest is newcontent produced by the Emma Goldman Anarchist Collective. Like the originalwork, we have sought to appeal to the realities closer to children living in theterritories of Nitassinan and so-called Quebec. Each of the definitions isembellished with a drawing and presents a libertarian perspective on a wide rangeof questions that will feed the curiosity of the youngest. This book aims to fuelcritical thinking and raise questions in children. The definitions sometimes goagainst the grain of what is generally understood. We can bring the child toobserve this gap in the representations which is rich in questions. Other textswill lead her to think about new issues and realities for her/him. The role ofthe guide is thus to ask questions about the child's understanding, to lead himto make connections with his own reality and to support his curiosity. The childdoes not need to agree with everything and that's fine! In fact, that'sdefinitely not the point of this reading. Rather, it is about raising questionsthat may, sooner or later, give rise to new concerns and ideas. And maybe not...In this case, the child will at least have learned that there are different waysof seeing the issues presented and that it is possible to doubt, criticize andfight against the injustices that cross his society.To find out more, you can also read the text "Why an anarchist children'sdictionary in 600 words".Ratings[1]Hugues Lenoir (2001).
