5.0 out of 5 stars A Book for Our Time, 30 Jun 2004
By Mr. S. Cowden "scjazz" (Leamington UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Penguin Education) (Paperback)
Friere's classic book seeks to understand the way that the form in which education is offered can have a profound impact on the effect which that education has. His work comes out of the experience of running literacy classes for peasant people in Latin America. What he found was that traditional types of educational practice reproduced passivity and disinterest, and reinforced in those people's eyes the idea that they could never acquire an education. He sought to offer a different kind of education where the process of learning was linked with an understanding of the dynamics of power and oppression. For Friere education was about the process of "becoming fully human" and coming to a consciousness of the world around you. He found these methods to be extremely successful, as have many educators working with socially marginalised groups who have entered education. At a time when large numbers of "non-traditional" students are entering the 'new university' sector in the UK, this book, offers an important resource to teachers and students alike. Though it has been several years since it was first published, it deserves to come into its own yet again.

5.0 out of 5 stars unreadable???? ok i admit it was kinda hard first time round, 10 Dec 2003
This review is from: Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Penguin Education) (Paperback)
I admit that for most this hardly makes light bedtime reading, but it is worth persevering with. If you expect to pick it up, read it and instantaneously know everything there is to know about oppression then you are sadly mistaken, and as far as I understand the book at the moment, the author would not hope for that to be the case.

But this book is so so so worth persevering with. When the Freire's ideas are pondered over within the context of life, living and working with the oppressed, as a subject of oppression, maybe even as an oppressor, this book will be invaluable in the search for living out liberation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, 16 Oct 2007
By Me (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Penguin Education) (Paperback)

An essential book for those who wish to understand how education is strongly connected to social inequality and how it is used to dominate the oppressed masses. This book is interesting and relevant not only within the context of Brazilian inequality, but also in a wider context that involves every developing country and perhaps even developed ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars essential reading
One of the towering polemics in the study of human nature. Essential reading for the tutor and student alike.

In order to overcome oppression people must first recognize its causes. And one thing that certainly stinks in our society is the current "banking" concept of education. Read more
Published 6 months ago by Jyriii

3.0 out of 5 stars Freire uses 20 words where 5 will do.
Summary: the oppressors of the world keep down the oppressed by a bad type of teaching called "banking", the oppressed don't realise this so they don't do anything about it. Read more

Marxist dialectic - ugh! He's still a great man but I shall restrict myself to reading other peoples' books about him in future.
