The entry for Paulo Freire in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy has just been updated. It's worth taking a few moments to read if you are not familiar with the man or his work. "A native of Brazil, Freire's goal was to eradicate illiteracy among people from previously colonized countries and continents. His insights were rooted in the social and political realities of the children and grandchildren of former slaves. His ideas, life, and work served to ameliorate the living conditions of oppressed people."
