Teachers As Cultural Workers: Letters to Those Who Dare Teach With New Commentary by Peter McLaren, Joe L. ... 2 reviews
Paulo Freire
Westview Press, 2006
Disappointing Rambling
The presence of the word "letters" in the title should perhaps have warned me what to expect, but as my first exposure to Freire's writing it fell far short of his reputation. I did learn something from the 95 pages of this book, but I could have learned as much in ten were it not for the rambling and repetition throughout. I suspect that starting with Freire's classic Pedagogy of the Oppressed ...

Literacy: Reading the Word the World 2 reviews
Taylor & Francis, 2007
Education 'is' Politics
To misunderstand Freire's humanism as mysticism is closed mindedness of the worst kind. Freire's ideas in this book are crucial for understanding literacy in our context. His educational approach is based on an understanding of communication that reflects Bakhtin's diaologics, an understanding of the relationship between form and content that many of the participants in our current media sphere ...

Daring to Dream: Toward a Pedagogy of the Unfinished (Series in Critical Narrative) 2 reviews
Paulo Freire
Paradigm Publishers, 2007
important work of Freire's released late
This volume contains the "second letter" in which Freire discusses the political nature of critical pedagogy. This is an important thing to read if you are part of that American contingent of "critical pedagogy" which imagines that Freire is merely proposing a "method."

Pedagogy Of Hope: Reliving Pedagogy Of The Oppressed (Continuum Impacts) 4 reviews
Paulo Freire
Continuum International Publishing Group, 2004
A revealing work from a great educator and humanitarian.
Sometimes it takes genius, and heart, to say what everyone already knows but can't quite vocalize. Education that takes the person's needs and social context into account; that helps him through dialog rather than imposing top-down curriculums in order to fit him to the rhythms of the dominant socioeconomic powers; that challenges him to think critically about his place in society and the world ...

Paulo Freire
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2001
teacher to the world
This small work is packed with wonderfully articulate insights, philosophical, political and practical, about education and how we should go about teaching young students. Paulo Friere is an enemy of oppression, coercion and neo-liberalism, a proponent of the human spirit and the possibility of a better world. If you are really interested in the ideas of existentialism, socialism, democracy and ...

We Make The Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change3 reviews
Myles Horton, Paulo Freire
Temple University Press, 1990
An amazing book!
I agree with the last reader that this is one of the best books I have ever read. Horton (may he rest in peace) and Freire have been on the front lines of using education for social progress and change. They discuss their philosophies and principles about education, illustrated by powerful stories of their work over the years, in an informal, conversational style. It has made me totally ...

Education For Critical Consciousness (Continuum Impacts)1 review
Paulo Freire
Continuum International Publishing Group, 2005
A primer to Pedagogy of the Oppressed
This book includes a detailed explanation of the methodologies leading to Pedagogy of the Oppressed. It would be a good "pre-reading" book or post-reading book for those interested in Ped. of the Oppressed. It really brings to life the methods to the wonderful and loving pedagogy that Freire exudes throughout his work. This is a must have for those who buy Ped. of Opp.

The Politics of Education: Culture, Power and Liberation
Paulo Freire
Bergin & Garvey Paperback, 1985
"Contributes to a radical formulation of pedagogy through its revitalization of language, utopianism, and revolutionary message. . . . The book enlarges our vision with each reading, until the meanings become our own." Harvard Educational Review "Constitutes the voice of a great teacher who has managed to replace the melancholic and despairing discourse of the post-modern Left with possibility and human compassion." Educational Theory "An ...

Pedagogy of the Oppressed1 review
Paulo Freire
Seabury Press, 1973
Should read
As an international student that has been marginalized many times in the language classroom I think it is a must-read-book. In fact, if it is up to me, I would ask all the international students in the English classrooms to read and reflect on this book. Thumps up.

Paulo Freire
Routledge, 1996
A great educator reveals his thoughts
Paulo Freire, viewed by many as the the most significant thinker in education in the 20th century, looks at his own thought processes in this book of letters to his niece. He explains here how he writes and rewrites, how his educational theories relate to current political debates, how he responded to his exile from his native Brazil when his teachings raised the consciousness of the peasant ...
