New material added, including interviews with leading Freirean scholars, a supporting companion website and links to the forthcoming The Student Guide to Freire's 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'

First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. The methodology of the late Paulo Freire has helped to empower countless impoverished and illiterate people throughout the world. Freire's work has taken on special urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities
and urban centers is increasingly accepted as the norm.

This 50th anniversary edition includes an up-to-date introduction by Donaldo Macedo, a new afterword and interviews with leading Freirean scholars such as Marina Aparicio Barberán, Gustavo Fischman, Ramón Flecha, Ron Glass, Valerie Kinloch, Pauline Lipman, Peter Mayo, Peter McLaren, Margo Okazawa-Rey and Daniel Schugurensky to inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general readers for years to come.
Clear links are made to Antonia Darder's forthcoming The Student's Guide to Pedagogy of the Oppressed to support those new to this complex text. Additional help is provided on the companion website www.pedagogyoftheoppressed.com.

Paulo Freire is the author of the bestselling Pedagogy of the Oppressed as well as Education for Critical Consciousness, Pedagogy in Process (The Letters to Guinea- Bissau), Learning to Question (with Antonio Faundez), and Pedagogy of the City.
