Critical Literacy And Postcolonial Praxis: A Freirian Perspective, Peter Mclaren

"This essay examines the relationship among language, experience, and historical agency. It does so in the context of recent work in critical literacy and critical pedagogy. My discussion takes its bearings from the work of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, described in a recent interview with Carlos Alberto Torres as "the prime 'animateur' for pedagogical innovation and change in the second half of this century" (12).

Much published literature suggests various designs and techniques for making the transition, even …
