Pedagogía de la esperanza. Un reencuentro con la Pedagogía del oprimido by Paulo Freire
5.0
“You never get there by starting from there, you get there by starting from some here”
I have no idea why I read this before Friere’s briefer and more influential and punchy Pedagogy of the Oppressed, but here we are. This sequel, addressing shortfalls of Friere’s seminal POTO was actually really enjoyable, with enough wisdom to get its own google keep note with some key sections.
I almost felt like playing Paulo Friere bingo in this one though due to the sheer amount of times the author mentions POTO’s global translation, but to be fair I don’t blame him.
Ultimately, the book is a powerful call against “liberation fatalism”, and an example of the genuine liberation-ary power education holds.
