Paulo Freire explores the development and impact of the ideas developed in his masterpiece, Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
Paulo Freire is the author of the bestselling Pedagogy of the Oppressed as well as Education for Critical Consciousness, Pedagogy in Process (The Letters to Guinea-Bissau), Learning to Question (with Antonio Faundez), and Pedagogy of the City.
Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of Hope, first published in 1992, was
written “in rage and love”, passionate in its denunciation of
social wrongs and in its assertion of the power of education to
release the truth. The book works at both inspirational and
practical levels, Freire believing that hope must be secured in
practice, in action. In his own life, Freire embodied this
integration of love and need for securing social change. His
thinking and commitment to the best in humanity informed his
engagement in the world. Pedagogy of Hope illuminates Freire’s
earlier publications including Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1968)
which with sales of over one million copies has had extraordinary
impact throughout the world in its analysis of socially and
personally transformative education.
