<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Impact, influences, and legacy: an interview with Ana Maria Araâujo Freire": Pages [151]-171.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This book serves as an important companion to Freire's seminal work, providing powerful insights into both a philosophically sound and politically inspired understanding of Freire's book, supporting application of his pedagogy in enacting emancipatory educational programs in the world today.<br/> <br/> Antonia Darder closely examines Freire's ideas as they are articulated in<i> Pedagogy of the Oppressed</i>, beginning with a historical discussion of Freire's life and a systematic discussion of the central philosophical traditions that informed his revolutionary ideas. She engages and explores Freire's fundamental themes and ideas, including the issues of humanization, the teacher/student relationship, reflection, dialogue, praxis, and his larger emancipatory vision. Questions are included throughout Chapter 3, Reading the Text Chapter-by-Chapter, to enable greater discussion of, and engagement with, the text itself. The book includes an incisive interview with Freire's widow, Ana Maria Araujo Freire. The bibliography offers invaluable support to those looking to read and study other works by Paulo Freire.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Darder does the masterful work of combining the personal and the political which both situates Paulo as a freedom fighter and his work as a deep and moving expression of the radical and social imagination. This is a manuscript that both theorizes pedagogy while it performs it in an accessible way that Paulo would have loved. Pedagogy in this sense is rooted in both a historical context and functions as a text to address the immensity of the burden that education as the practice of freedom has to address in the current moment of repression. This book should be considered a national treasure and will be read my future generations as a crucial text in both their understanding of Paulo's classic work and as a text that will inspire and energize them.<br/>Henry Giroux, Professor for Scholarship in the Public Interest and Paulo Freire Distinguished Scholar in Critical Pedagogy, McMaster University, USA<br><br>In our current educational landscape of runway fetishization of methods, Antonia Darder's exceptional book is must reading for all educators, particularly those who yearn to become agents of change.<br/>Lilia I.
