First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. Paulo Freire's work has helped to empower countless people throughout the world and has taken on special urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is ongoing.

This 50th anniversary edition includes an updated introduction by Donaldo Macedo, a new afterword by Ira Shor, and interviews with Marina Aparicio Barberán, Noam Chomsky, Ramon Flecha, Gustavo Fischman, Ronald David Glass, Valerie Kinloch, Peter Mayo, Peter McLaren, and Margo Okazawa-Rey to inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general audiences for years to come.

From ancient to contemporary times, these questions have been answered with varying, and sometimes contradictory, schools of thought. Our picks span centuries and subjects, and draw parallels across time to embolden listeners to dive deep into questions about the fundamental nature of our reality.

This book has power, while listening to this book, I actively felt as if I was a student relearning what pedagogy was for every aspect of life and consciousness. This book covers immense topics about liberation and the working class struggle against capitalism in institutions that claim to be educational. Although this book is a more broad and generalized reference on how to liberate one's mind, I have learned a lot about Brazil as well. Moreover, on top of learning more about South America, I learned so much about myself and the systems around me. Systems theory was coined here in the West, but the Global South was so much more sophisticated in their understanding of systems of oppression in all realms of thought, and Paulo places his understanding of the interconnectedness of systems of oppression perfectly. I found that a lot of the words and terms are complex so be sure to pay attention and use context clues or research the terms online using Paulo's references. Enjoy the book definitely worth a hard copy and a listen!

It is a REALLY dense read. It would be more or less completely inaccessible to someone who didn’t have a university education. Which given his views seems a bit odd. But the material is certainly thought provoking. I enjoyed the introduction and the afterword as well. It was well worth reading. And I plan to read it again to see what I think after a second go round.

The focus on solutions and making the topics relevant to current society was fantastic. The educational approach presented as well as the context given to various class structures was enlightening.

The idea that solving a problem invests the learner is not only applicable in oppression but education as well. Glad I took the time to listen.
