false 104946 2 This dialogue between two of the most prominent thinkers on social change in the twentieth century was certainly a meeting of giants. Throughout their highly personal conversations recorded here, Horton and Freire discuss the nature of social change and empowerment and their individual literacy campaigns. The ideas of these men developed through two very different channels: Horton's, from the Highlander Center, a small, independent residential education center situated outside the formal schooling system and the state; Freire's, from within university and state-sponsored programs. <P>Myles Horton, who died in January 1990, was a major figure in the civil rights movement and founder of the Highlander Folk School, later the highlander Research and Education Center. Paulo Freire, author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, established the Popular Culture Movement in Recife, Brazil's poorest region, and later was named head of the New National Literacy Campaign until a military coup forced his exile from Brazil. He has been active in educational development programs worldwide. <P>For both men, real liberation is achieved through popular participation. The themes they discuss illuminate problems faced by educators and activists around the world who are concerned with linking participatory education to the practice of liberation and social change. How could two men, working in such different social spaces and times, arrive at similar ideas and methods? These conversations answer that question in rich detail and engaging anecdotes, and show that, underlying the philosophy of both, is the idea that theory emanates from practice and that knowledge grows from and is a reflection of social experience. 101170 28 12 1991 We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change total:116|5:57|4:45|3:11|2:3|1:0| 116 504 223 22 3 2 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Thu Aug 30 19:59:25 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 30 20:02:53 -0700 2007 5 1 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue May 08 00:28:38 -0700 2007 Tue May 08 00:34:46 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jul 17 20:42:46 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 18 17:31:36 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Dec 18 08:33:20 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 18 08:35:01 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Tue Feb 19 21:17:53 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 16 22:01:22 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 21:17:25 -0800 2008
This book is great. It is great simply because it is a recorded conversation between two legendary radical educators - Myles Horton and Paulo Friere.
