Reading Freires newest compilation is like medicine for the critical pedagogues soul" —Teachers College Record "This volume provides a resource for encouragement and renewal of vision for educators influenced by Freirean pedagogy." —Reflective Teaching "Freire was not merely focused on literacy, but literacy as a means of consciousness raising, as a means to understand oppression, for raising questions about your position among the oppressed—and why you shouldnt accept it—and questions about what your society is like and why it should be changed." —Noam Chomsky "Pedagogy of Commitment provides a brilliant example of the range and scope of Paulo Freires understanding of education as the practice of freedom and its far-reaching influence throughout the globe. This book is steeped in history, addresses the role of pedagogy in different geographical contexts, and offers a constant challenge for what it means to make education critical and transformative. This is an essential book on Freires work and is crucial for understanding the revolutionary nature of his pedagogy and his important attempts to connect education to democratic social change." —Henry Giroux, McMaster University "In this new book, Paulo Freire makes the explicit link between his pedagogy, politics, and philosophy. This is a unique contribution to the Freire corpus, indispensible for anyone who wants to understand the range and depth of Freires thinking. In these pages we find crystal clear statements of the necessary link of the politics of radical humanism for education, revolution, and freedom." —Stanley Aronowitz, Graduate Center of the City University of New York Review Quote "Pedagogy of Commitment, structured in five parts, presents speeches, interviews, texts from seminars, and manifestos from work in Argentina, Chile, Nicaragua, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
