Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire is a revolutionary work in educational theory that critiques traditional forms of education and promotes a more egalitarian, participatory, and critical approach to teaching. Freire argues for an education system that empowers students to question and challenge the status quo rather than passively absorbing information. His ideas on dialogue, liberation, and the teacher-student relationship have had a lasting impact on educational philosophy, making this book essential reading for educators and anyone interested in social justice and reform.
