Picture offered to Victor Vincent Valla by UFF students for his receivement of the Carioca Citizen Title. The drawing represents, very humorously, not only his enormous heart but also his wishes for newspaper headlines.

In memoriam

Victor Vincent Valla

This (oficial) website aims to gather the production of Victor Vincent Vallas beliefs, so it can be accessed by all of those who, in some way, are interested in his theoretical work and large contribution to popular education.

Victor Valla was an educator, researcher, theoric, intellectual and activist. He was worried not only with social inequality and poverty in Brazil, but with what the popular social classes can teach us.

Joining this production was no easy task. It is extensive, many times having its elaboration process shared, and intertwining itself through different áreas of knowledge. Many of the projects are not digitalised, mainly the older ones. This way, the website is a work in progress, allowing for the inclusion of new texts and articles, with no deadline to come to an end.

As he would have liked.

Who was Victor Valla

Victor Vincent Valla represents a type of scientist that has been emerging more frequently in the brazilian social dynamics: the type that associates the academic knowledge with the popular knowledge, the theoretical compromise with the change of society regarding popular struggles. [...] The reflexion represented by Valla is a valious contribution, clear and convincing in the argumentation, to all of those that, on the basis of the society, fight for the human rights from the perspective that the majority of it is oppressed. In: Social Movements, health and the matter of public funds.

Friar Leonardo Boff . Effective member of the Center for Defense of Human Rights.
