The late Paulo Freire of Brazil is perhaps the most influential education writer of our time. His books, especially his classic Pedagogy of the Oppressed, have been translated into more than 40 languages. Freire's most recent publication was Pedagogy of Freedom (Roman and Littlefield, 2001).
“Freire’s wisdom shines through with a strong, clear passion. …
These letters are personal and passionate, argued with vigor and
immediacy, but intimate, too, like letters from an old friend. The
ideas today are as fresh as ever. … Recommended.”

“Although Freire will always be known for his early works such as
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, his later work also deserves attention.
Many people … actually prefer his later work. … This title will
undoubtedly become an important study for the simple but profound
reason that these chapters were his final thoughts.”
—Teachers College Record
“Freire’s work has profoundly influenced and shaped the way in
which teachers and educators framed political and ideological
questions concerning teaching and learning in their classrooms.
There is no question that the ethical and moral dimensions of
Freirean pedagogy have inspired and motivated a new generation of
educators and activists.”
—Education Review
“Pedagogy of Indignation could not have come at a better time, with
its message of risk in the service of hope, humility in the service
of love, and anger in the service of indignation. A good dose of
Paulo Freire’s inspiring message is vital now for all who care
about social justice.”
—Sonia Nieto, author of What Keeps Teachers Going
“As a voice of humane and sensitive understanding and insight, few
can begin to compare with Paulo Freire. His last work enriches and
extends the marvelous legacy he has left us, once again providing
stimulating ideas and opening new directions for thought and action
to create a more decent world.”
—Noam Chomsky
