Daring to Dream: Toward a Pedagogy of the Unfinished [Hardcover]

New from the author of the million-selling Pedagogy of the Oppressed

In an era when teachers and states are resisting high-stakes testing, this new book from world-renowned author Paulo Freire could not be more timely.

Million-seller Paulo Freire urges students, parents and teachers to discover new horizons of hope and possibility for a better world.Critical theory in education has too often lapsed into an intellectual posturing detached from real possibilities for transformation and thus failed to challenge neoliberal fatalism about how things are or need to be. Ever persuasive and impressive, Freire takes up the challenge and in the act shows us not just the possibility but the reality of a pedagogy of hope.
