I let out a little Marxist squeal when I saw this on the charity table at the supermarket. Who the hell else in my sadly staunch Tory stronghold of a village is reading Freire?!
I'm all the more encouraged to read it because of a one-star GR review that begins, "This book is Marxist indoctrination of poor people dressed up as a revolutionary education theory," which they've shelved as "Not to be read". Sounds right up my street! ✊?

The_Book_Ninja If someone calls me a Marxist as an insult I feel quite flattered. I do correct them, however, and say I‘m a Trotskyist. 6mo

Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja My Marxist credentials would probably be more impressive if I'd ever read a word he'd written! 😄 6mo
Cuilin How fantastic!! ✊ 6mo
CarolynM I hope you‘re still in a Tory, rather than Reform UK, stronghold after today. 6mo
Bookwomble @CarolynM It would be awful to lurch even further right, but my hope is on being at least in a Labour area. Green would be better, but one step at a time 😊 6mo
