The Student Guide to Freire's 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' serves as an important companion to Freire's seminal work, providing powerful philosophical and political insights which support the application of his pedagogy in enacting emancipatory educational programs in the world today. Antonia Darder closely examines Freire's ideas as they are articulated in Pedagogy of the Oppressed, beginning with a historical discussion of Freire's life and works and a discussion of the central philosophical tenets that informed his ideas in the book. The book includes an introduction by Donaldo Macedo and an Interview with Ana Maria Freire Araujo.
