Pedagogy, Oppression and Transformation in a 'Post-Critical' Climate

Reviews / Votes

'This book provides a thoughtful reassessment of the work of Paulo Freire against the background of recent developments in the theory and practice of education. It provides a powerful reminder of the need to bring the personal back into the political project that education ultimately is.' Gert Biesta, Professor of Education, University of Stirling, UK 'This important and compelling book is an important challenge to the new framing of education in a post critical climate. It addresses the question of educational transformation by exploring the potential in Freire's work for liberation through radical pedagogy and praxis that takes relationality and the affective domain of life seriously.' Diane Reay, Professor of Education, University of Cambridge, UK 'This text is timely, prescient, passionate and purposeful, bringing together a set of powerful voices, perspectives and dispositions that breathe new possibilities into pedagogies more likely to liberate and transform than oppress and marginalise...an important contribution to contemporary educational discourses that is at once deeply humanising, enriching and rewarding. Read it, and be inspired to continue Freire's transformative agenda.' Ciaran Sugrue, Professor of Education, University College Dublin, Ireland
