Here is what people are saying about the Pedagogy of the Oppressed
5 Star Rating  "Absolutely Essential reading for any activist"2010-02-08
- Reviewed By Rob Kall of Opednews.com from Newtown, PA
This book, which has sold over 500,000 copies, is brilliant, incisive and absolutely essential reading for any person who is trying to bring about change, trying to wake people up, trying to bring justice to their part of the world. The ideas are so important, I have to pinch myself to realize I hadn't read this book years ago.

Don't wait. Stop what you are reading and get this book. You won't regret it.
I publish a site for progressive activists that technorati ranks as one of the top 100 overall among almost 2 million blogs. Google liberal news and my name and it'll come out on top. I'd say this book is way up there near the top of the reading list of what activists should read. It may seem like it is just for oppressive authoritarian regimes, but it applies to so many aspects of injustice in the US. You'll be amazed.
 
5 Star Rating  "Freire should be required reading for all educators"2009-10-12
- Reviewed By ritainapita from Corpus Christi, TX
As a neophyte in the rather intimidating world of theory and critical pedagogy, I am both delighted and impressed by the ability Paulo Freire had to effectively communicate in a manner that was powerful yet unpretentious. His seminal work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, is indeed a wake-up call to educators everywhere and should therefore be required reading for anyone who ever has, or ever will, set foot in the classroom. Freire's simple message is this: True education is a dialogical process in which teachers become students and students become teachers, all in the name of liberation for everyone involved.

The first chapter - while admittedly depressing - introduces ideas and terms that are necessary for the comprehension of the latter three. The basic plot of domination is thus summarized: Through violence and exploitation, an oppressor class "dehumanizes" an oppressed group that ultimately becomes incapable of recognizing its own oppressive situation. Therefore, in order to overcome this oppressive state of affairs, intervention is not only desirable but necessary. The oppressed must experience an awakening period in which they open their own eyes (rather than have their eyes opened for them) to the true status of their situation. However, Freire contends that in order to achieve true liberation, the oppressors and the oppressed must join together in communion towards a common altruistic goal: humanity.

This is the cornerstone of Freire's argument. I have to admit, as an enthusiastic rookie to critical pedagogy, I have little to disagree with or respond to after reading this epic expression of love. Nonetheless, my major critique is that the idea of liberation for all is a bit idealistic given the current state of the American education system. In a culture of high-stakes testing, it is difficult - if not impossible - to envision such a radical shift in paradigm ever coming to pass.

So why invest so much time and effort in studying and lauding Freire? I believe that to simply disregard Freire's fundamental argument because its ultimate goal is currently infeasible on a large scale in America would be tragically fallacious. His banking concept of education is a call for all educators to think critically about what they do and say (and, just as importantly, what their students do and say) in the classroom. To ignore this is to ignore our vocation.

The second half of Freire's work shares an implementation plan for liberation praxis and concludes with a discussion of the (fine) line between antidialogical and dialogical action. This is important substance, as many teachers - I include myself in this - fall into the traps Freire cautions against, even when they are acting in what they believe to be the students' best interest. Every student is a person. The idea sounds simple enough, but it gets complicated when teachers are more preoccupied with test scores and teaching standards than the people themselves. So, in the name of "leaving no child behind," the people are soon forgotten.

Who knew that a humble priest from Brazil would have such an impact on American critical teaching theory? The mission now - as Freire's secular disciples - is to spread his word. Freire's message of hope still lives on, but will die out if we allow our voices to be silenced.
 
3 Star Rating  "Students are seen as containers to be filled"2009-08-29
- Reviewed By Jyriii
In order to overcome oppression people must first recognize its causes. And one thing that stinks is certainly the current "banking" concept of education. Students are seen only as containers to be filled with the "already existing" knowledge. The common assumption seems to be that solely the professors know something in this crazy society. And this conception is really only serving the high-class minority's status.

While reading this book I felt like I was reading Erich Fromm. -Something fundamentally interesting was offered in a boring form.
 
5 Star Rating  "Friere's Masterpiece"2009-08-07
- Reviewed By Cary D. Holt from Oxford, GA USA
This is a "must have" book for all who are REALLY interested in improving education in America.
 
5 Star Rating  "Unbelievable Book!"2009-07-06
- Reviewed By L. Creswell from Maryland
This book is a true eye opener to people of oppression. Not only does it give you perspective of the oppressed, but of the oppressor and the relationship of both. Great reading if you want to be enlightened.
 
5 Star Rating  "A classic relevant for today's world"2009-07-05
- Reviewed By An Amazon User
This classic, written many years ago, should jolt our educational systems - even today.
Should not our education today, and always, be 'subversive' as Freire believes?
If not then why are we always looking for 'disruptive technologies' and 'innovative solutions'.
Does our school system today develop these skills or impede them?
And shouldn't we bring these approaches, of innovation and disruption, to our social and political systems and not simply to our businesses and technologies? This is what Freire would tell us.
Shouldn't our educational systems, our pedagogy, develop active citizenship which is creative, liberating and relevant? Conscientização, which is also translated as "conscienceness raising" and "critical consciousness".
Yes, critical consciousness and relevance are concepts Freire attempts to bring into his pedagogy. Of course his experience is with the Indian populations of Latin America and the former Portugese colonies in Africa. Yet the divide between the reality a student experiences today and the standard school curriculum, often rote learning, is a huge gap. One that alienates our students from the beauty and joy of learning. School becomes an oppressive rather than liberating experience. And often leaves much to be desired in way of the tools and skills needed for real and effective participation in today's cyber and ecologically challenged society.
Paolo Freire was an educator. But one that saw he could change, challenge even defeat much of the suffering unequal and oppressive societies created. So if you believe that education is a medium for change in our societies Paolo Freire will certainly continue to inspire.
