In a brief Foreword to the volume, titled “On the Road to Social Justice: Reinventing Paulo Freire”, Ira Shor, a prominent exponent of critical pedagogy and former collaborator with Paulo Freire, precisely summarises the content by stating that “readers will encounter a panorama of reinvention, not standardization, which is what Paulo called for, a praxis Footnote 2 of adaptive local agency – action/reflection/action emerging for and from specific sites” (p. xi). They (re)read and (re)analyse Freire in diverse geographical sites and from distinct disciplinary approaches. ![]() This interdisciplinary anthology is thematically organised into five parts: I “The criticality of teacher preparation”, II “Pedagogy and practice”, III “The intersection of Paulo Freire and Myles Horton, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Simone de Beauvoir”, IV “Policy, the environment, and liberation theology” and V “Reflections, experiences, and consideration.” Thirty-three established and emerging scholars have contributed to this volume. ![]()
