Paulo Freire Pedagogy of the Oppressed* Filosofi & Livsstil

‘The  foremost work on the key democratic task: helping people to identify  and challenge the sources of their oppression … a transformative text’  George Monbiot, Guardian

Arguing that ‘education is freedom’, Paulo  Freire’s radical international classic contends that traditional  teaching styles keep the poor powerless by treating them as passive,  silent recipients of knowledge. Grounded in Freire’s own experience  teaching impoverished and illiterate students in his native Brazil and  over the world, this pioneering book instead suggests that through  co-operation, dialogue and critical thinking, every human being can  develop a sense of self and fulfil their right to be heard.

‘Truly revolutionary’ Ivan Illich
