Written by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' is a seminal work in the field of critical pedagogy. Freire argues that traditional education often perpetuates oppressive power dynamics and advocates for a transformative approach to teaching and learning. He emphasizes the importance of dialogue, critical thinking, and conscientization (raising awareness of social and political issues) in the educational process. This book challenges educators to rethink their teaching methods and strive for a more equitable and liberating education system.
