More quotes by Paulo Freire
The behavior and reactions of the oppressed, which lead the oppressor to practice cultural invasion, should evoke from the revolutionary a different theory of action. What distinguishes revolutionary leaders from the dominant elite is not only their objectives, but their procedures.
Paulo Freire
Submission to suffering is a form of annihilation, but transformation of suffering rekindles a faith that gives life.
Paulo Freire
Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in 'changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them.
Paulo Freire
The oppressed find in the oppressors their model of 'manhood.'
Paulo Freire
Any situation in which some men prevent others from engaging in the process of inquiry is one of violence… to alienate humans from their own decision making is to change them into objects.
Paulo Freire
The behavior of the oppressed is a prescribed behavior, following as it does the guidelines of the oppressor.
Paulo Freire
Reflection and action must never be undertaken independently.
Paulo Freire
The oppressors do not perceive their monopoly on having more as a privilege which dehumanizes others and themselves. They cannot see that, in the egoistic pursuit of having as a possessing class, they suffocate in their own possessions and no longer are they merely have.
Paulo Freire
As one might expect, authoritarianism will at times cause children and students to adopt rebellious positions, defiant of any limit, discipline, or authority. But it will also lead to apathy, excessive obedience, uncritical conformity, lack of resistance against authoritarian discourse, self-abnegation, and fear of freedom.
Paulo Freire
In order for the oppressed to unite they must first cut the umbilical cord of magic and myth which binds them to the world of oppression the unity which links them to each other must be of a different nature.
Paulo Freire
Dialogue cannot exist without humility.
Paulo Freire
The educator has the duty of not being neutral.
Paulo Freire
Dehumanization, although a concrete historical fact, is not a given destiny but the result of an unjust order that engenders violence in the oppressors, which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed
Paulo Freire
Only through communication can human life hold meaning.
Paulo Freire
Education must begin with the solution of the teacher-student contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students.
Paulo Freire
The more people participate in the process of their own education, and the more people participate in defining what kind of production to produce, and for what and why, the more people participate in the development of their selves. The more people become themselves, the better the democracy.
Paulo Freire
A revolutionary leadership must accordingly practice co-intentional education.
Paulo Freire
The hope of remaking the world is indispensable in the struggle of oppressed men and women.
Paulo Freire
Critical reflection on practice is a requirement of the relationship between theory and practice. Otherwise theory becomes simply blah, blah, blah, and practice, pure activism.
Paulo Freire
This book will present some aspects of what the writer has termed the pedagogy of the oppressed, a pedagogy which must be forged with, not for, the oppressed (whether individuals or peoples) in the incessant struggle to regain their humanity.
