Book Summary

Pedagogy of the Oppressed is Paulo Freire’s landmark work on education, liberation, and social justice. In the book, Freire argues that traditional schooling follows a “banking model,” where teachers deposit information into passive students, reinforcing oppression and inequality. Instead, he proposes a dialogue-based, participatory model of education in which teachers and students learn from one another, reflect on their reality, and work together to transform it. Freire emphasizes the importance of critical consciousness (conscientização)—the ability to recognize social, political, and economic injustices—and insists that true education must empower the oppressed to become active agents of change. The book blends philosophy, pedagogy, and revolutionary thought, offering a powerful framework for teaching that promotes freedom, dignity, and humanization.

About the Author

Paulo Freire (1921–1997) was a Brazilian educator, philosopher, and a leading thinker in critical pedagogy whose ideas reshaped modern educational theory. Growing up during Brazil’s economic depression, Freire experienced poverty firsthand, which deeply influenced his understanding of inequality and education. He devoted his career to adult literacy programs and developed innovative teaching methods that encouraged learners to connect reading and writing with their everyday struggles and social reality. Exiled for his political views during Brazil’s military dictatorship, Freire continued his work globally, advising governments and educational movements. His seminal book Pedagogy of the Oppressed made him an international voice for democratic education and human liberation, inspiring teachers, activists, and scholars around the world.
