"There is a practice of freedom, and there is a practice of domination. Today, we move, we are, we live, we suffer, we yearn and die, in societies where the practice is exercised domination. Do not lose anything if we try a new pedagogy. On the contrary, we can win a new society, a new man, a new tomorrow."

In 1946 Freire was appointed Director of Education and Culture Department of Social Services in the state of Pernambuco, the state of his hometown's capital. Working primarily among the poor who could not read or write, Freire began to take an unorthodox approach of what can be considered a variation of the theology of liberation. At that time, literacy was a requirement for voting in the Brazilian presidential elections. In 1961 he was appointed director of the Department of Cultural Extension of Recife University, and in 1962 had the first opportunity to apply his theories significantly, when they were taught to read and write to 300 workers in sugar cane plantations in such only 45 days. In response to these achievements, the Brazilian government approved the creation of thousands of cultural circles across the country. In 1964 a military coup ended the project: Freire was imprisoned as a traitor for 70 days. After a brief exile in Bolivia, Freire worked in Chile for five years for the Christian Democratic Movement for Agrarian Reform and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
In 1967, Freire published his first book, Education as the practice of freedom. The book was well received, and was offered the post of visiting professor at Harvard University in 1969. The year before he wrote his famous book Pedagogy of the Oppressed, published in English and Spanish in 1970
Is my favorite character of education and history because it brings criticism to the classroom, respect the autonomy of the student. It takes education beyond the classroom. Because education is a reflective process, the pedagogy is a process tranformation.
The education is liberation!
