Pedagogy of the Oppressed is a seminal work by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. It explores the concept of critical pedagogy and advocates for a transformative approach to education. Freire argues that traditional education perpetuates oppression and inequality, and proposes a pedagogy that empowers students to critically analyze and challenge the social and political structures that marginalize them. This book has had a profound impact on the field of education and continues to inspire educators around the world to create more inclusive and equitable learning environments.
