Freire's Fit with Our Concern for Community Building TodayEssay and Explanation of concepts.
Discussion Questions
- Did Freire's concern extend to community building?
Consider that one of his primary concerns was that ordinary people had been enslaved by exploitation. He wanted to teach them literacy to enable them to get the information and the learning that would give them empowerment to break out of the culture of silence that had been imposed upon them.
- How does Foucault's writing relate to the same concerns Freire expresses?
- How does Frantz Fanon's writing relate to the same concerns Freire expresses?
