Abstract"Contributes to a radical formulation of pedagogy through its revitalization of language, utopianism, and revolutionary message. . . . The book enlarges our vision with each reading, until the meanings become our own." Harvard Educational Review "Constitutes the voice of a great teacher who has managed to replace the melancholic and despairing discourse of the post-modern Left with possibility and human compassion." Educational Theory "An affirmation of Freire's prodigiously activist approach to popular education and its capacity for securing transformative change." Contemporary Sociology
