[James F]

As a pendant to reading Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed I decided to read this short biography which I had on my bookshelves. It was interesting as background to the development of his thinking and of summarizing things which were in his other books. It was written by a Jesuit and published by the Catholic Church, so it has some limitations; the author particularly finds it objectionable that Freire justified armed revolution (but he doesn't deny the fact that he did, so I assume the book is trustworthy in its account of Freire despite its own value judgements, although it may emphasize certain ideas rather than others.

(Not the Indonesian edition clearly but that's the only one that comes up on Goodreads.)
