SUMMARY:
Recognizing the library as a political device is essential for us to advance as a theoretical and professional field, with a view to humanizing our society, which is unjust and unequal. For Marx and Engels (2017), society is divided into two opposing poles: on one side, the bourgeois class – which owns the means of production – and on the other, the working class, which sells its labor force in exchange for a salary, which, to a large extent, is insufficient and does not meet people's basic needs. This theoretical work has the general objective of discussing how counter-colonial thinking contributes to expanding the reach of the Popular and Community Library in terms of conceptualization and action in society. In addition, as specific objectives: a) To highlight the conservative mark of Librarianship from the public library that has historically sided with the dominant and colonialist power; b) to analyze the theoretical contributions of the counter-colonial perspective, aiming to relate them to Librarianship studies from the perspective of popular and community libraries; and c) prepare an informative booklet that promotes the appreciation and dissemination of alternative libraries (popular and community) as tools of counter-colonial resistance. In relation to a methodological framework to construct and develop our language that is, therefore, counter-colonial – confusing corpus with bodies (Carmo, 2023) – it was necessary to subscribe to Exuzilhistic Reseaving (Carmo, 2023), a non-Western scientific legacy. To this end, when justifying this reseaving, so that epistemic plurality (characteristic of our work) was embodied in the text, shedding light on the debate on methodology, we refer to what the philosopher Paul Feyerabend (2007) addresses in his work, epistemic anarchism, a critique of the rationalism and positivism of science. Finally, a Librarianship that aims to be counter-colonial needs to train professionals with this same perspective, hence the urgency of discussing the professional commitment (Freire, 2014) of librarians and inserting them into this context. Thus, it is necessary to produce a booklet that presents this “cabocla”, counter-colonial Librarianship, as well as the profile of the professional librarian and their commitment.
