PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED BY PAULO FREIRE QUOTES
To affirm that men and women are persons and as persons should be free and yet to do
nothing tangible to make this affirmation a reality, is a farce.
One of the gravest obstacles to the achievement of liberation is that oppressive reality absorbs
those within it and thereby acts to submerge human beings’ consiousness. Functionally, oppression
is domesticating. To no longer be prey to its force, one must emerge from it and turn upon it.
This can be done only by means of the praxis(practice): reflection and action upon the world in order
to transform it.
