Summary:

This book draws connections between Paulo Freire and some of the most influential critical scholars of the 20th century. Each chapter pairs Freire with one of eleven critical scholars, giving a biographical summary and expanding the shared themes in their work. The critical theorists covered are: Mikhail Bakhtin, Pierre Bourdieu, Enrique Dussel, Frantz Fanon, Michel Foucault, Nancy Fraser, Erich Fromm, Antonio Gramsci, Jürgen Habermas, bell hooks and Iris Young. The book takes up Freire's invitation to use his perspective as a lens into different contexts and offers an expanded look at Freire's contribution to critical theory. While introducing the connections between Freire and other critical scholars the book reveals the importance of Freire's work to political sociology, critical race theory, decolonial theory, feminist theories and critical linguistics.
