A review by allisonwhite167
Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire
5.0
Such an educational and impactful read. Freire breaks down to the basics what is oppression, who is oppressed, who is the oppressor, the relationship between the two, and the ways in which the oppressed can achieve freedom. He clearly outlines his thesis of oppression and also details the practical ways that these issues can eventually be resolved. It is clear, concise, and incredibly rich (I found myself furiously taking notes on each paragraph).
It’s important to note that lots of this book is not so basic as well; there’s a lot in here that was difficult for me to parse on a first read, but I’m excited to think through it more and read it again eventually.
For anyone interested in thinking deeply about the layers of oppression in our world, I strongly recommend this book.
