La voz del maestro
¿Qué puede hacer el maestro para construir una autoridad genuina frente a la clase? ¿La escuela hoy en día es capaz de escuchar y responder a docentes, padres y alumnos? ¿Cómo lograr un sistema educativo democrático en que las escuelas retengan autonomía y no se profundice la brecha entre la educación de élite y la educación popular? En conversación franca, sin tecnicismos ni simplificaciones, Paulo Freire ofrece respuestas comprometidas a estos interrogantes, a la vez que transita su propia biografía, su proyecto pedagógico, su experiencia en la gestión pública y sus ideas políticas.
La voz del maestro es una puerta de entrada privilegiada al pensamiento de Paulo Freire: su palabra, con el inteligente contrapunto de Edson Passetti, traza las grandes líneas de una obra tan rica como antidogmática. Es un relato vívido, muchas veces conmovedor, que nos hace conocer los días de infancia nordestina y sus sueños de ser cantor de radio, el surgimiento de la vocación y las personas que marcaron su forma de ver el mundo y la educación. También, recuerda los tiempos en que todo parecía posible y los obstáculos políticos a la hora de llevar a la práctica sus ideas, el método dialógico y la pedagogía del oprimido. Décadas de exilio, viajes y polémicas ponen de manifiesto la medida de la enorme repercusión del educador. Sin complacencia, este libro toma posición en viejos y nuevos debates y muestra la vigencia del pensador ante los desafíos de la cultura contemporánea.
En una época en que los proyectos emancipadores fueron cercados por los autoritarismos, la lucidez de Freire nos da herramientas para no renunciar a la utopía de cambiar el mundo. Con el diálogo como eje y la convicción democrática como faro, nos convoca a luchar por esa escuela que escucha, provoca y vive la difícil experiencia de la libertad.

About the author
Paulo Freire
164 books1,435 followersThe Brazilian educator Paulo Freire is among most the influential educational thinkers of the late 20th century. Born in Recife, Brazil, on September 19, 1921, Freire died of heart failure in Sao Paulo, Brazil on May 2, 1997. After a brief career as a lawyer, he taught Portuguese in secondary schools from 1941-1947. He subsequently became active in adult education and workers' training, and became the first Director of the Department of Cultural Extension of the University of Recife (1961-1964).
Freire quickly gained international recognition for his experiences in literacy training in Northeastern Brazil. Following the military coup d'etat of 1964, he was jailed by the new government and eventually forced into a political exile that lasted fifteen-years.
In 1969 he was a visiting scholar at Harvard University and then moved to Geneva, Switzerland where he assumed the role of special educational adviser to the World Congress of Churches. He returned to Brazil in 1979.
Freire's most well known work is Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970). Throughout this and subsequent books, he argues for system of education that emphasizes learning as an act of culture and freedom. He is most well known for concepts such as "Banking" Education, in which passive learners have pre-selected knowledge deposited in their minds; "Conscientization", a process by which the learner advances towards critical consciousness; the "Culture of Silence", in which dominated individuals lose the means by which to critically respond to the culture that is forced on them by a dominant culture. Other important concepts developed by Freire include: "Dialectic", "Empowerment", "Generative Themes/Words", "Humanization", "Liberatory Education", "Mystification", "Praxis", " Problematization", and "Transformation of the World".

Freire was and will always be the most profound and self aware pedagogue for the people. Everything he said is applicable to education and life.
