Biography
Paulo Freire
“Freire’s wisdom shines through with a strong, clear passion. … These letters are personal and passionate, argued with vigor and immediacy, but intimate, too, like letters from an old friend. The ideas today are as fresh as ever. … Recommended.”
—Choice
“Although Freire will always be known for his early works such as Pedagogy of the Oppressed, his later work also deserves attention. Many people … actually prefer his later work. … This title will undoubtedly become an important study for the simple but profound reason that these chapters were his final thoughts.”
—Teachers College Record
“Freire’s work has profoundly influenced and shaped the way in which teachers and educators framed political and ideological questions concerning teaching and learning in their classrooms. There is no question that the ethical and moral dimensions of Freirean pedagogy have inspired and motivated a new generation of educators and activists.”
—Education Review
“Pedagogy of Indignation could not have come at a better time, with its message of risk in the service of hope, humility in the service of love, and anger in the service of indignation. A good dose of Paulo Freire’s inspiring message is vital now for all who care about social justice.”
—Sonia Nieto, author of What Keeps Teachers Going
“As a voice of humane and sensitive understanding and insight, few can begin to compare with Paulo Freire. His last work enriches and extends the marvelous legacy he has left us, once again providing stimulating ideas and opening new directions for thought and action to create a more decent world.”
—Noam Chomsky
