I'm glad I read this book, but like many philosophy books... it goes on for awhile

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.

My toxic trait is thinking we could implement all this.
I kid, but it is interesting to see the massive disconnect in academia surrounding a lot of these ideas. Supportive in theory, reluctant in practice. Those in power will raise the pretense of critical consciousness if that’s what it takes to fossilize power structures, and the bastardized version of Freire’s ideas that is actually sanctioned in classrooms is pretty toothless.
