Description
This volume looks at the territory of learning and activism, the essence of human life. This book shows why an engaged way of learning and teaching is central to the creation of the individual, culture and history.
The author, Paulo Freire, finds in the emerging global society a new context in which education cannot be indifferent to the reproduction of dominant ideologies and the interrogation of them. Freire demonstrates why an acceptance of fatalism leads to a loss of personal and societal freedoms. He argues against progressive liberalism and its acceptance of a world where poverty must inevitably coexist with opulence.
Pedagogy of Freedom challenges readers to critically engage with the socio-political implications of education and encourages activism as an integral part of the learning process.
