While many English speaking community developers are familiar with the early work of popular education in Latin America that sprang up during years of dictatorship, most are not aware of the advances in theory and practice our Latin American and Caribbean colleagues created during the era of re-democratization from the mid-1980s into the second decade of the twenty-first century. The social movement linking popular education, community development, and democracy (CDD) is exemplified in the emergence of the Council of Popular Education of Latin America and the Caribbean and its journal of theory and praxis , La Piragua . We situate the social movement and its intellectual work, then examine its utility for CDD practice through an application on the ground, and consider its implications for community development praxis elsewhere
