Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Penguin Modern Classics)

'Theforemost work on the key democratic task: helping people to identifyand challenge the sources of their oppression ... a transformative text'George Monbiot, Guardian

Arguing that 'education is freedom', PauloFreire's radical international classic contends that traditionalteaching styles keep the poor powerless by treating them as passive,silent recipients of knowledge. Grounded in Freire's own experienceteaching impoverished and illiterate students in his native Brazil andover the world, this pioneering book instead suggests that throughco-operation, dialogue and critical thinking, every human being candevelop a sense of self and fulfil their right to be heard.
