Pedagogy of the Oppressed: 50th Anniversary Edition
First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. Paulo Freire's work has helped to empower countless people throughout the world and has taken on special urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is ongoing.
This 50th anniversary edition includes an updated introduction by Donaldo Macedo, a new afterword by Ira Shor and interviews with Marina Aparicio Barberán, Noam Chomsky, Ramón Flecha, Gustavo Fischman, Ronald David Glass, Valerie Kinloch, Peter Mayo, Peter McLaren and Margo Okazawa-Rey to inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general readers for years to come.BUY THE BOOK

If you have enough knowledge of colonial history and the sociological implications and effects of colonialism, then I am afraid that you won't find many new discussions/theories in this book. Since I am not so well versed in pedagogical studies, What I liked was the pedagogical" what to do" that Freire shared here, his philosophy is farsighted and we can't ignore how much his philosophies have impacted multiple generations of intellectuals. Even with all the positive traits, this book was often meandering, obtuse and inaccessible, if I hadn't read it with [b:The Student Guide to Freire's 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'|39343795|The Student Guide to Freire's 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'|Antonia Darder|https:i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1521691835l/39343795._SX50_.jpg|56535039] , this guidebook, I would have dnf-ed it ages ago.
