This paper analyzes the lesser known work of the intellectual Paulo Freire at the Centro Regional de Pesquisas Educacionais do Recife (CRPE-RE; Regional Center of Educational Researches of Recife) between the years 1958 and 1963 during the management period of the sociologist Gilberto Freyre. It is important to point out that the CRPE-RE was connected to the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Educacionais (CBPE; Brazilian Center of Educational Researches) under the administration of Anisio Teixeira. This article aims to map this work, to understand the reasons why researches in Freire’s work have forgotten it, and the absence of this work in the Freire’s own books. This points towards the ambiguity between memory and oblivion that conducts to the questioning of Freire’s path: What is the real role of Paulo Freire in the daily routine of CRPE-RE? Was there any self-deletion of this experience? Or has it followed the steps of the attempt to erase the memory of the CBPE, underway after 1964? In order to understand these questions, the methodology used is based on a documental and historical research. The Boletim Mensal (Monthly Report) of the CBPE, published by the Instituto Nacional de Estudos Pedagógicos (National Institute for Pedagogical Researches), is the primary source for this study. The main objective is to compare what is written in Freire’s many books to what is found in these reports.
