Editorial Reviews

Critical theory in education has too often lapsed into an intellectual posturing detached from real possibilities for transformation and thus failed to challenge neoliberal fatalism about how things ‘are’ or ‘need to be.’ Ever persuasive and impressive, Freire takes up the challenge and in the act shows us not just the possibility but the reality of a ‘pedagogy of hope.’”
—Jim Gee, Arizona State University
