This is a review of the book Escola e democracia: entre políticas e práticas (School and democracy: between politics and practices), written by Alice Botler and José Almir do Nascimento. The work aims to analyze the school's potential in promoting child and adolescent protagonism and takes as its epistemological basis the discussion elaborated by Saviani in School and democracy to reflect on the production of (new) marginalities. Based on research carried out in state schools in Pernambuco, it reflects on the dilemmas and contradictions of the quality of education, democracy and student protagonism in the educational field.
