Show Notes: Paolo Freire - Pedagogy of the Oppressed Great book, and really short! One of the foundational texts of critical pedagogy; we refer to his description of how an individual oppressor achieves true solidarity with the oppressed, as well as Freire’s description of false generosity, or charity that targets the symptoms of an unjust society, which supports the oppressive system and fails to address the underlying cause of social problems – the oppressive system itself.
