Pedagogy of the oppresses

Paulo Freire, was a Latin America teacher very important for Psychology. He proposed the critical pedagogy. His importance nowadays is connected to the fact that he created a pedagogy based in Latin America and its process of domination. He has many books, but I like two, first “pedagogy of the oppresses” (pedagogía del oprimido) and second “pedagogy of the question”(pedagogía de la pregunta). I found out about him when I participated in a community school and there, the teachers talked about him. And my process to know about him, was a practical process, because the community school practiced that pedagogy. It was a very educational experience.

About the career…

I use this theory for my pedagogy work or in my life, because is not only a relation between the students and teachers, he proposed a way of relating with the others and the humanity.

I would like to recommend him because it is important to study our processes like Latin Americans. And from here write our history, theory, arts or political propose. Because we are a particular continent with a particular history, and we need to know: What is to be Latin American?
