Great ideas, concepts and a lot of food for thought. Many truths that still are relevant today. Not only applicable to education or pedagogy but to the world and life as a whole.The only thing that really bothered me was the terrible translation. I read the 1970 edition. Maybe there has been a revised translated publication?

really incredible, and glad i read this. did highlight an enduring issue i have with classic Marxism — that which divides humans from animals is our ability to consume/produce (don’t like tying humanity to productivity, feels gross) and that only human history is legitimate and recorded.

Stylistically, this book is a beautifully persuasive manifesto for revolutionizing teaching practices.

Friere could have been more transparent about the methodology informing his pedagogy, allowing for a better evaluation of this teaching style.

This book has certainly informed by teaching style. I would recommend it.
