About this book

Paulo Freire builds a philosophy of education around the relationship between the oppressed and their oppressors. He argues that liberation is a mutual process rather than a gift, and he sets the "banking" concept of education against problem-posing education.

Later chapters present dialogue as the practice of freedom and contrast it with antidialogical action, which depends on conquest, manipulation and cultural invasion.

Paulo Freire

Freire ran adult literacy work in north-eastern Brazil in the early sixties, teaching labourers to read in about forty hours using words drawn from their own lives, which mattered because literacy was then a condition of the vote.
