Paulo Freire is one of the century's great thinkers on education
and the politics of liberation. Known mostly for his literacy
campaigns in Latin America and Africa, and for his seminal work
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, his thinking continues to be
rediscovered by generations of teachers, scholars, community
activists and cultural workers in Europe and North America. While
his name is synonymous with the practice of Critical Literacy' and
A Pedagogy of Liberation', his work has been appropiated in many
diverse fields of discipline and site-based projects of social
reform. This volume represents a pathfinding analysis of Freires
work and in many cases it offers an extension of his thinking in
order to make it more applicable to first world contexts. Peter
McLaren and Peter Leonard have brought together a divergent group
of scholars widely recognized for their contributions to critical
theory and critical pedagogy. Themes addressed include Freier's
relation to feminist critique, his philosophical roots and an
evaluation of his ideas from postmodernist and postcolonialist
perspectives. The collection will be essential reading for anyone
interested in the radical sociology of education and the politics
of liberation.
