Hey everyone, I finished reading Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire and was wondering if you had read it as well and what you thought about it.
I thought it was really good, it struck me as being very well thought out and as coming from an informed place. Paulo's comparison between banking method of teaching vs. a dialog based approach was very interesting to me. I also liked how he presents this as crucial to revolutionary thinking and how it relates to revolutionary movements overall.
I think anybody who feels like they want to begin conversations with other people on leftist topics would do well to read this book. I think it's good for people who are struggling to impress upon their peers the importance of revolutionary thought in their analysis of the world as it goes into some pitfalls that can effect this.
If you've read it, share with me your impression! Or if you haven't yet, consider putting it on your reading list!

I'm glad you liked it! I gotta say I think I learned a lot from it too. It definitely helped me understand even in a small part what a revolution would look like and how to talk to people about it. The explanation about the "internalized oppressor" really helped me understand some behavior I'd seen in others that I didnt grasp previously.
I think it also made me less lib haha, all the more reason to read more books I guess.
