It Is Absolutely Essential That The Oppressed

The Road To Revolution Involves Openness To The People, Not Imperviousness To Them; It Involves Communion With The People, Not Mistrust.

Welfare Programs As Instruments Of Manipulation Ultimately Serve The End Of Conquest. They Act As An Anesthetic, Distracting The Oppressed From The True Causes Of Their Problems And From The Concrete Solutions Of These Problems.

This Book Will Present Some Aspects Of What The Writer Has Termed The Pedagogy Of The Oppressed, A Pedagogy Which Must Be Forged With, Not For, The Oppressed (whether Individuals Or Peoples) In The Incessant Struggle To Regain Their Humanity.

No Pedagogy Which Is Truly Liberating Can Remain Distant From The Oppressed By Treating Them As Unfortunates And By Presenting For Their Emulation Models From Among The Oppressors. The Oppressed Must Be Their Own Example In The Struggle For Their Redemption (freire, 1970, P. 54).

The Future Isn't Something Hidden In A Corner.the Future Is Something We Build In The Present.
