Books by Paulo Freire

Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a masterpiece penned by Paulo Freire, is a landmark book in the genre of educational philosophy. First published by Penguin Books Ltd in 2017, this book remains a significant resource for understanding and challenging the traditional norms of education. Freire's innovative approach towards the relationship between teacher and student has left a profound impact on the education system worldwide. The book invites readers to question the 'banking' concept of education, where the student is seen as an empty account to be filled by the teacher. Instead, Freire proposes a 'problem-posing' education where the teacher and student become co-creators of knowledge. This revolutionary approach has made 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' an essential read for anyone interested in education and its role in society. Published by Penguin Books Ltd, this book continues to inspire and provoke thought in its readers.
