Produktbeschreibung

This revised and updated second edition of Paulo Freire: The Man from Recife recounts the life, thought, and experiences of a remarkable man who has left an indelible mark on the social sciences, education, and theology. As one who was born in the northeastern part of Brazil in a city called Recife, Freire experienced the sting of poverty and the pangs hunger within an unjust social and economic system, yet he emerged as a courageous, prophetic voice of conscience. With a new Foreword, Preface, and Afterword, notable stylistic changes in chapter structures, and updated chapters relevant to these contemporary times, this new revised, updated edition continues to bring attention to a man whose thought continues to influence around the globe.

"This latest edition of Paulo Freire: The Man from Recife is a captivating and refreshing take on Paulo Freire's timeless principles...This book is a call to action, an inspiration for change, and a testament to the power of critical and transformative education."

-DÉBORA B. AGRA JUNKER, PhD, Associate Professor of Critical Pedagogies, Founder and Director of Cátedra Paulo Freire, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary

"This new edition is panoramic and marvelously readable, expanding our knowledge of the contexts from which Freire emerged to become a leading advocate for social justice in education and society."

-IRA SHOR, Co-author with Paulo Freire, A Pedagogy for Liberation

"Reading Paulo Freire: The Man from Recife deeply fascinated me...I am impressed by the admiration, affection and seriousness that Kirylo shows in the characterization of Paulo Freire's land, his country and hometown."

-LUCIMARA CRISTINA DE PAULA, State University of Ponta Grossa, Parana, Brazil

"This second edition - with its thoughtful revisions to the style, substance, and structure of the text - makes what was already a key work in Freirean scholarship even more accessible and engaging...I recommend this book very highly for anyone seeking to gain a better understanding of Paulo Freire - the intellectual, the teacher, and the man."
