This work presents a review of the doctoral thesis of Professor Beatriz da Silva D'Ambrosio, presented in 1987, to the Faculty of Philosophy of Indiana University Bloomington / United States, to obtain a PhD in Philosophy. It is sought to evidence the signs of approach to the ideas of creative insubordination in her research, when the author analyzed the process of transferring the curriculum of Modern Mathematics from North American and European countries to Brazil. In the contextualization of the work Beatriz presents a reflection on the dependence of less developed countries on developed countries (in the production and dissemination of knowledge), the educational reality in these less developed countries and the communication of innovations from developed to less developed countries . From semi-structured interviews and bibliographic analysis, the author organizes and discusses the data collected in ten major themes. Based on these discussions, the author presents her conclusions related to the dynamics of the modern mathematics movement in Brazil and ends by indicating eleven important recommendations for moments of discussion, formulation and implementation of educational policies.
