What people are saying
Jairo I. Fúnez is a professor at Texas Tech University.
Here too, the pioneering intuition of Paulo Freire was right, who proposed pedagogy "of" the oppressed and not "for" the oppressed; it was the person...the community itself that should become the subject of its own consciousness-raising literacy,
An international media project with the mission of bringing you voices from people's movements and organizations across the globe.
Born in Recife, Freire completed his studies in Philosophy and started developing an educational praxis while working with the literacy missions for peasants and workers. Following the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état sponsored by the US Government, Paulo Freire was forced into exile. https://t.co/sgYYO32eR0
