This collection, comprised of chapters focused on the intellectual histories and present circumstances of curriculum studies in Brazil, is Pinar's summary of exchanges (occurring over a two-year period) between the authors and members of an International Panel (scholars working in Finland, South Africa, the United States).

"The dialogue invites the Brazilian researchers to present, to defend and even to assess their viewpoints and arguments . . . Researchers interested in international and comparative education will benefit from reading the book." - Compare
