Story
In Teaching to Transgress, Bell Hooks - writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual - writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for Hooks, the teacher's most important goal. Bell Hooks speakes to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom? Full of passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself.

Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism's subjects internalize its prejudices, eventually emulating the 'white masks' of their oppressors, it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti-colonialist thinker.

Ranging from the age of slavery to contemporary injustices, this groundbreaking history of race, gender and class inequality by the radical political activist Angela Davis offers an alternative view of female struggles for liberation. Tracing the intertwined histories of the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, Davis examines the racism and class prejudice inherent in so much of white feminism, and in doing so brings to light new pioneering heroines, from field slaves to mill workers, who fought back and refused to accept the lives into which they were born.

Everyone needs to love and be loved - even men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are - whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the West and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the repercussions of European colonialism in Africa remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.

After 1989, capitalism has successfully presented itself as the only realistic political-economic system - a situation that the bank crisis of 2008, far from ending, actually compounded. The audiobook analyses the development and principal features of this capitalist realism as a lived ideological framework. Using examples from politics, films, fiction, work, and education, it argues that capitalist realism colours all areas of contemporary experience.

In Necropolitics, Achille Mbembe, a leader in the new wave of francophone critical theory, theorizes the genealogy of the contemporary world, a world plagued by ever-increasing inequality, militarization, enmity, and terror as well as by a resurgence of racist, fascist, and nationalist forces determined to exclude and kill. He outlines how democracy has begun to embrace its dark side - what he calls its "nocturnal body" - which is based on the desires, fears, affects, relations, and violence that drove colonialism.

A work of striking originality, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then - diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions - continue to confront us today.

Daniel Hill will never forget the day he heard these words: "Daniel, you may be white, but don't let that lull you into thinking you have no culture. White culture is very real. In fact, when white culture comes in contact with other cultures, it almost always wins. So it would be a really good idea for you to learn about your culture." Confused and unsettled by this encounter, Hill began a journey of understanding his own white identity. Today he is an active participant in addressing and confronting racial and systemic injustices.
Summary
First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. Paulo Freire's work has helped to empower countless people throughout the world and has taken on special urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is ongoing.
This 50th anniversary edition includes an updated introduction by Donaldo Macedo, a new afterword by Ira Shor, and interviews with Marina Aparicio Barberán, Noam Chomsky, Ramon Flecha, Gustavo Fischman, Ronald David Glass, Valerie Kinloch, Peter Mayo, Peter McLaren, and Margo Okazawa-Rey to inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general audiences for years to come.

Absolutely pivotal and essential reading
This timeless work and exploration of dialogical education is key to our liberation as a people and must be read by anyone who claims to desire freedom for themselves and their fellow people in this capitalist system of oppression through which we are dominated and enslaved on both a material and ideological basis.
Whether or not you are an educator; whether or not you consider yourself an advocate of revolutionary thought and praxis, this book will transform you and enlighten you. An instant favourite, and an honest guide toward understanding the word and the world and our destiny as human beings seeking humanity, to change it.

Paulo Freire, who?
I can understand why I've never heard of Paulo, I don't speak Portuguese. But, after listening to this a couple of times, it's like I've known him all my life. This is an absolute must read for anyone interested in learning and the political implications of an educated society. I think I'll listen to it again.

A revelation
Paulo Freire was and is an intellectual for all ages, not of individual people, but of human history. Freire's conceptual grasp of critical pedagogy, one which is explained in as clear a prose as one could ask, is profound and powerful; as one listens to his ideas, one is himself reaching a new level of conscientisation, one which allows them to be more critical of the world and their place within it. This is an absolute must read, for all of human kind.

Great Book, Awful Narration
I found the narration of this book extremely off-putting, to the point where I couldn't really concentrate on the content. Dennis Kleinman's voice in this narration is creepy to say the least. If you are the kind of listener who likes clear enunciation then I recommend you steer clear of this recording. On the other hand, the book is a classic in humanist critique. It is a must read for anyone who is interetsted in progressive educational theory.

Parts of this book are written in very abstract terms. Hard enough to follow in a book, pretty hard to listen to. (I am a philosophy professor and I'm reading the book to prepare a course in philosophy of education, so it's not as if I'm unused to difficult texts).

Paulo Freire Teaches How to Create
I work and by working I transform the world. Friere who was at one time an educator for the church has found a new way to invigorate humanity. By having humans learn that they have a role in creating culture. That their every effort to put theory into praxis is a piece of creating a workable society. Constantly asking to bring the illiterate and hopeless folding into the middle of the decision process, Freire proposes how to make lasting improvement in society.

Excellent book: narrator mispronounces!!
This book is incredible!!! The narrator/Dennis Kleinman literally didn’t look up how to pronounce the author’s name or his key concept which I found annoying and smacking of the same colonial privilege that’s discussed in the book. Narrator kept mispronouncing “Paulo Freire” and his key concept “conscientização”
