Reviews

The edited volume Freire and Student Empowerment: Voice, Agency, and Transformative Pedagogies, demonstrates how Paulo Freire’s pedagogical ideas continue to have a material reality today, inspiring educators to develop innovative approaches to learning that they are currently using in both K-12 and higher education classrooms. The authors show how Freire can and should be put into conversation with other theories and pedagogical strategies, such as queer pedagogy, place-based learning, eco-pedagogy, anti-racist education, counter-narratives, learning through political activism, theatrical performances, global citizenship education, and more. The Freirean praxis that you find in these pages is not the same popular education of the last century, it is creatively adapted for the unique challenges and diverse students of the twenty-first century. -- Rebecca Tarlau, Associate Professor of Education, Stanford University, US, Author of ""Occupying Schools, Occupying Land: How the Landless Workers Movement Transformed Brazilian Education""
