ISBN-13: 9789087905804 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 172 str.
Arguably the most comprehensive and, in my estimation, most accurate account of Paulo Freire's life, legacy and praxis both his intellectual contributions and the application of his philosophy in various educational sites has thankfully been published in paperback. Peter Mayo's exceptional book is an essential pre-requisite for anyone wanting to engage in a serious study of Freire and/or the theoretical foundations of critical, and revolutionary critical, education. Congratulations to Mayo and Sense Publishers for making this valuable book more accessible to readers. Paula Allman, author of Revolutionary Social Transformation. Democratic Hopes, Political Possibilities and Critical Education and Critical Education Against Global Capitalism. Karl Marx and Revolutionary Critical Education A brilliant and comprehensive analysis of Freire's work From the Foreword by Henry A. Giroux, McMaster University The present book has been written by an admirer and connoisseur of Freire, one who has had first-hand access to the relevant sources. Mayo makes brilliant use of his material in what amounts to a highly interesting and insightful study. Mohammed Sabour, International Journal of Contemporary Sociology A meticulous piece of work that updates and weaves Freire's thought with that of other critical educators and philosophers, producing a text of great clarity and valuable insight. Mayo's exploration of the concept of 'reinvention' and the concrete application of Freire's ideas to his own context constitutes an excellent example of praxis in the emancipatory education in which he engages. This work substantially advances the understanding of adult education for transformative ends. Nelly Stromquist, University of Southern California ... A] path-finding work by one of the world's leading Freirean scholars. The current political climate and the intensification of Neoliberalism as a global strategy of exploitation demands that we take Paulo Freire's legacy to heart, and Mayo's treatment of Freire's pedagogy and politics makes this urgently clear. It also sets the terms of the debate for how educators can proceed apace in taking up the struggle for social transformation. Peter McLaren, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies UCLA"
