  <default_description>On the 20th anniversary of its publication, this classic manifesto is updated with an important new preface by the author. Freire reflects on the impact his book has had, and on many of the issues it raises for readers in the 1990s. These include the fundamental question of liberation and inclusive language as it relates to Freire's own insights and approaches.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Freire argues that to educate is to contribute to the people's politicization and development of selfhood. He advocates a &quot;problem-posing&quot; style, i.e. a discussion-based model wherein the teacher's role is to provide a prompt and facilitate a group discussion, with the goal of helping &quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8372730">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this one in my Sociology of Adult and Higher Education Class. This was probably the most interesting (and intellectual) book that I read for my classes this semester. It is obvious that Freire is a Christian and his pedagogy of the oppressed is an educational mirror of liberation theology.

    <body><![CDATA[I agree with the sentiment in this theory and find it very useful and awakening in my work with children and in activism. Paulo Freire is a brilliant man.
