Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Book • 2014
Paulo Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" is a seminal work in education theory that critiques traditional, banking-style education and advocates for a more liberating approach.

Freire argues that education should be a transformative process that empowers students to critically analyze their world and challenge oppressive structures.

He emphasizes dialogue and participatory learning as essential tools for fostering critical consciousness and social change.

The book's enduring influence lies in its challenge to traditional power dynamics in education and its call for a more just and equitable learning environment.

Freire's work has inspired educators and activists around the world to rethink their approaches to teaching and learning.
