Author Description

"Arguably the most comprehensive and, in my estimation, most accurate account of Paulo Freire's life, legacy and praxis - both his intellectual contributions and the application of his philosophy in various educational sites - has thankfully been published in paperback. Peter Mayo's exceptional book is an essential pre-requisite for anyone wanting to engage in a serious study of Freire and/or the theoretical foundations of critical, and revolutionary critical, education. Congratulations to Mayo and Sense Publishers for making this valuable book more accessible to readers." - Paula Allman, author of Revolutionary Social Transformation. Democratic Hopes, Political Possibilities and Critical Education and Critical Education Against Global Capitalism. Karl Marx and Revolutionary Critical Education
