Pedagogy of the Oppressed: 50th Anniversary Edition 4th Edition

One of the most fundamentally influential texts I have read. The Macedo introduction always gets me feeling ready to take on the Man. A must read for those willing to consider radical equity.

I did my undergraduate and master's degrees in education, taught for thirteen years, had to experience the oppression of the education system, then return for my doctorate before I got to read this book. I wish we started teacher education with this awareness instead of saving it for the highest levels of the educated.

I highly recommend this book if you are wanting to learn more about teaching and learning and its comparison to oppression. The author provides insightful concepts and made me think abouthow to be more effective when teaching students and learning from teachers.I enjoyed the book so much, I purchased it on audible and for another friend.

This was required for one of our social work research courses at the graduate level. At first, I wasn’t sure what to make of whatever was being presented as a sociopolitical marker— but the current reminder between Antifa & BLM seemed to creep up with the dispersed tonality that shaped being the oppressed from the Oppressor in this relationship.The contents from the author’s point of view was incisive to utilize writing our research papers and as reference material about diversity and inclusion.

This book is well written and provides a multitude of issues in the field of education. I did find that many of the applications Friere covered were "heavy" and required some deep reflection. As an educator, all newer teachers should read it to acclimate to our current educational climate. The book is a building block for other authors, so it is a must-read for those wanting to change the way we work within educational institutions!

I purchased this book for a college course. However, the language was extremely difficult to follow. With a professor to decipher some of the wording, I came to realize that this book may be a true masterpiece. I simply wish it were easier to follow. Nonetheless this was a great read!

This book is it essential resource for anybody interested in teaching, political organizing, or just generally developing cultural consciousness and avoiding the pitfalls of paternalism.

I already have Audible version of this text but wanted to have a hard copy. One of the most important books in my library. It arrived on time in a good condition. Thank you!
