About this listen

First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. Paulo Freire's work has helped to empower countless people throughout the world and has taken on special urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is ongoing.

This 50th anniversary edition includes an updated introduction by Donaldo Macedo, a new afterword by Ira Shor, and interviews with Marina Aparicio Barberán, Noam Chomsky, Ramon Flecha, Gustavo Fischman, Ronald David Glass, Valerie Kinloch, Peter Mayo, Peter McLaren, and Margo Okazawa-Rey to inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general audiences for years to come.

An astonishing work. I'll have to re read it many times I think... too much to absorb at once ... so many confronting truths it is often hard to take in. Written many decades ago and still as fresh as a daisy... still relevant and useful in a profoundly humane way.

incredibly influential and important book let down somewhat by the monotony of the reader. Because the writing is fairly turgid and academic, a more passionate reading would, I believe, serve a greater audience, as Friere would have wanted

So overcomplicated, so much writing like Hegel, a few interesting remarks but in general over and over the same and -ation -tion and so on. The reading is hard to listen to: monotonous, there's an echo.

overcomplicated, Hegelian debledegook

I connect with the contents of the book. However, the delivery of the narration makes the information unnecessarily difficult to digest, and honestly, a painful listen….

Great content, disappointing narration
