Pedagogy of the Oppressed is the most widely known of educator Paulo Freire's wo
rks. It proposes a pedagogy with a new relationship between teacher, student, an
d society. It was first published in Portuguese in 1968, and was translated and
published in English in 1970.[1]
Dedicated to what is called "the oppressed" and based on his own experience help
ing Brazilian adults to read and write, Freire includes a detailed Marxist class
analysis in his exploration of the relationship between what he calls "the colo
nizer" and "the colonized." The book remains popular among educators all over th
e world and is one of the foundations of critical pedagogy.
In the book Freire calls traditional pedagogy the "banking model" because it tre
ats the student as an empty vessel to be filled with knowledge, like a piggybank
. However, he argues for pedagogy to treat the learner as a co-creator of knowle
dge.
According to Donaldo Macedo, a former colleague of Freire and University of Mass
achusetts professor, Pedagogy of the Oppressed is a revolutionary text, and peop
le in totalitarian states risk punishment reading it[2]; Arizona's secretary of
education, Tom Horne, objects to its use in classrooms.[3] The book has sold ove
r 750 000 copies worldwide.[4]
