This books subtitle "Reliving the Pedagogy of the Oppressed" captures the essence of the book. 24 years after the release of his landmark book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Freire offers background from his exile (from his native Brazil)in Chile that led to his writing the book. He also takes time to answer some of his critics and restate some of the essential points. As one has studied Freire closely, I found this book to be a refreshing personal response to the more scholarly and abstract Pedago...more
Less essential than Freire's other work, but an interesting narrative about the author's travels and conversations--both of which are largely prompted by the popularity of Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Freire uses the present text as a chance to reiterate his defenses against critics (notably Marxists who found his work to be "idealistic" and neglectful of class conflict) of his earlier work. But the stories are the most interesting bits of Pedagogy of Hope. Freire in Chile, in New York City, in Gr...more

Pedagogy of Hope is an enormous help in understanding Pedagogy of the Oppressed - if you have to read PotO, then do try and get PoH as a companion decoder for the duration of your reading.

I think I need to reread this one--I know it is packed with importance but I dredged through it for school and it is not a fast read.
Reading Freire is not good for my work self. He gets me all riled- and amped- up so that I am a menace in developing professional development that is effective, sustained, and intensive. I just hope I find the path that allows his ideas to ravage the juvenile justice system in the most graceful way possible.
