Since its first publication, The Critical Pedagogy Reader has firmly established itself as the leading collection of classic and contemporary essays by the major thinkers in the field of critical pedagogy.
While there were a few chapters that contained helpful information in this text it contained mostly theory. Theory can be helpful in some cases but not when they are all repetitive and lacking information about the opposite argument.
Not exactly page-turning, compelling stories... but good "make you think" reading that fits with my own philosophy of education. Also doubles as a great door stop :-)
