Pedagogy of the OppressedHerder and Herder, 1970 - 186 من الصفحات Years before he was 'invited' to leave his homeland after the military coup of 1964, the author had begun devoting his life to the advancement of the fortunes of the impoverished people of Brazil. In the course of his work and travels, and as a result of his studies in the philosophy of education, he evolved a theory for the education of illiterates, especially adults, based on the conviction that every human being, no matter how 'ignorant' or submerged in the 'culture of silence' is capable of looking critically at his world in a dialogical encounter with others, and that provided with the proper tools for such encounter he can gradually perceive his personal and social reality and deal critically with it. As the illiterate person learns and is able to make such statements, his world becomes radically transformed and he is no longer willing to be a mere object responding to changes occurring around him. The educated are more likely to decide to take upon themselves the struggle to change the structures of society that until now have served to oppress them. This radical self-awareness, however, is not only the task of the workers, but of persons in all countries, including those who in our advanced technological society have been or are being programmed into conformity and thus are essentially part of 'the culture of silence.' |
