Booklist
Twenty years ago, Brazilian educator Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed received worldwide acclaim for the ideas about teaching and change in the Third World that he had forged in the crucible of his own work among the illiterate poor of Latin America. Now he revisits his original success, recounting the evolution of his ideas and the defining moments that led to both his insights and his subsequent exile because of them. Uncompromisingly on the side of oppressed peoples everywhere, Freire promotes his philosophically dense ideas with the fervor of a revolutionary. They make for difficult reading, partly because of his associative, rambling style but also because of a rather awkward, literal translation. Still, for those interested in the philosophy of education and in fundamental Third World issues, they're reading well worth the struggle. Mary Ellen Sullivan

Book Description
Paulo Freire (1921-97) was an educationalist based in Brazil and became the most influential writer and thinker on education in the late twentieth century. His seminal work Pedagogy of the Oppressed has sold almost 1 million copies.
In Pedagogy of Hope Freire revisits the themes of Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Freire's abiding concern for social justice and education in the developing world remains as timely and as inspiring as ever, and is shaped by both his rigorous intellect and his boundless compassion. Pedagogy of Hope is a testimonial to the inner vitality of generations denied prosperity and the often silent, generous strength of millions throughout the world who refuse to let hope be extinguished.
With Notes by Ana Maria Araújo Freire
