Paulo Freire is one of the ideological giants. . . .

It makes the issues in the 1970 classic come alive and is a clarion call for a critically engaged pedagogy of autonomy triggered by epistemological curiosity." --Peter Mayo, University of Malta " Pedagogy of Freedom is by far one of Paulo Freire''s most outstanding contributions to the field of education. His singularly unique capacity to engage the complexity of ethical, political, and economic questions in light of democratic pedagogical concerns provides teachers and educational leaders with much needed insight, as they struggle to navigate the chaos and confusion of contemporary schooling in these difficult and changing times." --Antonia Darder, Leavey Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership, Loyola Marymount University, Pedagogy of Freedom is a stirring culmination of Paulo Freire's life work.

Synopsis
In Pedagogy of Freedom Paulo Freire travels ever more deeply into the territory where learning and activism are the essence of human life. This profound new book shows why an engaged way of learning and teaching is central to the creation of the individual, culture, and history. Freire finds in today's emerging global society a new context in which education cannot be indifferent to the reproduction of dominant ideologies and the interrogation of them. He argues against "progressive" liberalism and its passive acceptance of a world where unemployment and hunger must inevitably co-exist with opulence. In so doing, he shows why an acceptance of fatalism leads to loss of personal and societal freedom-and how those individuals who think without optimism have lost their place in history. This book displays the striking creativity and profound insight that characterized Freire's work to the very end of his life-an uplifting and provocative exploration not only for educators, but for all who learn and live., This volume looks at the territory of learning and activism, the essence of human life.
