Paulo Freire
Pedagogy of the Oppressed
London: Penguin Modern Classics, 2017

We turn to pedagogy. Freire writes:

“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and therefore bring about conformity to it, or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”
