If you want to understand why and how critical theory and the ideology of Social Justice is influencing modern education, this book is a good place to start. Thus, teachers who try to turn his ideology into a mere technique are fundamentally misreading his goals. While some of Freire’s critiques of what he calls the “banking model” of education are reasonable, his work as a whole is deeply rooted in his Marxist beliefs. Brazilian educator Paulo Freire is known as the father of critical pedagogy and his book Pedagogy of the Oppressed has sold over 1 million copies worldwide. The discipline of critical pedagogy has two aims: first, to expose how educational practices produce, justify, and reinforce systems of oppression, and second, to transform these practices to foster a “liberatory consciousness” in students.
