Pedagogy of the Opressed

Description

Arguing that "education is freedom," Paulo Freire's radical international classic argues that traditional educational styles disempower the poor by treating them as passive, silent recipients of knowledge. Based on Freire's own experience teaching impoverished and illiterate students in his native Brazil and around the world, this groundbreaking book instead suggests that through collaboration, dialogue, and critical thinking, every human being can develop a sense of self and their right to be heard can fulfill.
