I would encourage any new revolutionary government interested in
starting a literacy campaign to read this book's sober analysis of
the problems encountered when going from theory to the real world.
. . . This well-researched book does a fantastic job of
illuminating an important aspect of the Cold War and should be in
every syllabus on the history of education in Latin
America.--Journal of Latin American Studies
In this well-written book, Andrew Kirkendall has taken the measure
of the man and his utopian project from a much-needed post-Cold War
vantage point.--Royal Institute of International Affairs
Kirkendall's book provides scholars with a rare view of Freire as a
reluctant politician and historical figure . . . . For scholars
interested in the socio-political limits and possibilities for
curriculum implementation, this examination of how Freire's ideas
were mutually adapted by the political actors of the Cold War
raises some interesting questions about the post-Cold War
significance of Freire's work.--History of Education Quarterly
This volume by Andrew J. Kirkendall is, in my judgment, the most
authoritative account of the life and times of Paulo Freire. . . .
An immensely informative and engaging account of one of the most
important educators of our time.--The Americas
Well-researched and effectively written.--Hispanic American
Historical Review
