Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-09 00:00:00 Krista Vitale This book is AMAZING. Anyone involved in the academic enterprise needs to read this book. It is a reconstructed call for progressive education and civic life. This book keeps me going when I feel like giving up on my program.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-07 00:00:00 Ronald Barrick This is a "talking book" (i.e. a transcripted conversation) between two Brazilian community educators, Antonio Faundez and Paulo Freire. They discuss thir work in the Portugese speaking countries of Africa (Guinea-Bissau, Mazambique, angola) and their attempts to apply they principles of empowerment through literacy that was their trademark. While there are a number of "nuggets" in this book, wihtout a clear understanding of the larger context of their work, it is a bit hard to follow.
