Pedagogy of Hope by Paulo Freire

Synopsis

One of the most influential writers on education of the 20th century, Freire (1921-1997) here revisits the themes of his seminal Pedagogy of the Oppressed in a work that combines personal reflection on the experiences that led him to write the book, engagement with criticisms and other receptions of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, and discussion and extension of the ideas Freire presented there and in other writings.

Annotation
