Politics of liberation

This book explores various forms of oppression that plague contemporary society.

Through the analyses and reflections of theorists and social activists—including

Paulo Freire himself— Politics of Liberation brings together under a common

project of human liberation critical voices from around the globe—from Mexico,

Guatemala, Britain, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and the

United States.

The contributors argue that Freire’s work offers an avenue out of the malaise

of contemporary politics and culture. They situate Freire temporally in relation to

moments of modernity and postmodernity; culturally and existentially i n relation

to the First and Third Worlds and the standpoint of indigenous peoples; politically

in terms of his attention to the range of sites and dimensions of oppression and

their relatedness; and intellectually in relation to the eclectic range of theories on

which he draws.

The book is a response to the current global crisis of solidarity among

progressive and dissident intellectuals, educators and cultural workers. It is a crisis

that challenges educators and activists to transcend narrow ethnic, cultural, religious

and nationalist particularisms but without recourse to transcendental narratives

which make universal claims to truth. Freire’s work addresses ways of resisting

forms of oppression as they are produced in the context of First-World and Third-

World social and cultural sites through Freirean-based liberational strategies that

build upon forms of solidarity without positing universalist claims.

The book will be required reading for anyone interested in liberation and

especially for scholars and students of sociology, education and politics.
