The article "Lack of Autonomy" addresses Paulo Freire's thinking on the concept of autonomy. The text clarifies that Freire never wrote a specific theory on the political autonomy of a people.
However, according to the article, Freire left a deeper legacy: a reflection on the conditions that enable a person, and through them a community, to cease being an object of others' decisions and become an autonomous subject of their own history.
The article highlights that among Freire's many works, "Pedagogy of Autonomy" is pointed out as one of those that best challenges readers when reflecting on the future of a community and the relationship between a people and their autonomy.
The text appears to be incomplete, ending abruptly with the word "Conteúd," which suggests that the available version is a truncated version of the original article.
