Reinventing Paulo Freire A Pedagogy of Love

Reinventing Paulo Freire A Pedagogy of Love

One of the most influential critical educators of the twentieth century Paulo Freire challenged those educational inequalities and conditions of injustice faced by oppressed populations. In this new edition of Reinventing Paulo Freire Antonia Darder re-examines his legacy through reflections on Freirean pedagogy and the narratives of teachers who reinvent his work. The fully revised first part provides important historical political and economic connections between major societal concerns and educational questions raised by Freire and their link to the contemporary moment including questions tied to neoliberalism coloniality and educational inequalities. At the heart of the book is a critical understanding of how Freire’s pedagogy of love can inform in theory and practice a humanizing approach to teaching and learning. Powerful teacher narratives offer examples of a living praxis committed to democratic classroom life and the emancipation of subaltern communities. The narratives clearly illustrate how Freire’s ideas can be put concretely into practice in schools and communities. These reflections on Freirean praxis are sure to spark conversation and inspiration in teacher education courses. Through a close theoretical engagement of Freire’s ideas and key insights garnered from lived experiences the book speaks to the ways Freire can still inspire contemporary educators to adopt the spirit of liberatory pedagogy By so doing Reinventing Paulo Freire is certain to advance his theories in new ways both to those familiar with his work and to those studying Freire for the first time. | Reinventing Paulo Freire A Pedagogy of Love

Education in Revolutionary Struggles Iván Illich Paulo Freire Ernesto Guevara and Latin American Thought

Education in Revolutionary Struggles Iván Illich Paulo Freire Ernesto Guevara and Latin American Thought

Education in Revolutionary Struggles introduces us to the fascinating world of Latin American educational thought in the third quarter of the 20th century. It discusses the contributions of three of the most distinguished intellectuals of the period – Iván Illich Paulo Freire and Ernesto Guevara – and more specifically their answers to the eternal challenge: What is – or should be – the role of education in the profound structural and/or revolutionary transformation of our societies? The first part of the book identifies the cultural economic and political context of the revolutionary years in Latin America. This historical framework is of particular interest because it is the setting for the intellectual and educational debates in which these three thinkers took part. The second part the heart of the book expounds in depth how Iván Illich Paulo Freire and Ernesto Guevara contributed to understanding of how education is linked to the transformation of society. The third and final part highlights the most fertile dimensions of the educational thought of Iván Illich Paulo Freire and Ernesto Guevara – deschooling liberation education and revolutionary education respectively – and analyses the points where their conceptions of education in revolutionary struggles converged complemented one another or diverged. | Education in Revolutionary Struggles Iván Illich Paulo Freire Ernesto Guevara and Latin American Thought

Social Policy In A Nondemocratic Regime The Case Of Public Housing In Brazil

Social Policy In A Nondemocratic Regime The Case Of Public Housing In Brazil

This book had its origins in my doctoral research at the London School of Economics. It developed more rapidly than expected thanks to the good will and collective efforts of various people and institutions who provided help and support-material intellectual and moralthroughout four years at the LSE and two years at Tel Aviv University. I am most grateful to George Philip and Patrick Dunleavy who have patiently read the many drafts and offered their comments and suggestions at various stages of this work. I would also like to thank Peter Dawson who during my early days at the LSE as a research and MSc student supervised advised and above all encouraged my intentions to carry out research on developing countries. Henrique Rattner of the Fundacao Getulio Vargas provided me not only with technical support but also introduced me to the complex Brazilian bureaucracy. Gabriel Bolaffi of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Sao Paulo made it possible for me to gain access to the otherwise restricted public housing agencies. I also extend my gratitude to the officials at COHAB/SP CODESPAULO INOCOOP and the BNH (in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo) who spared precious time to be interviewed and supplied me with published and unpublished documents. The IPT (Sao Paulo Institute of Technological Research) provided the primary material on ltaquera and enabled me to use their computing facilities and process the data. Special thanks are due to Ros Mari Kaupatez. The friends we made in Sao Paulo whose welcome and warmth surpassed all expectations made a long stay more bearable. This project could not have been carried out without the moral and financial support of both my grandfather and my parents who took a deep interest in my studies and encouraged me during difficult periods. A debt of thanks is also owed to the Publication Committee of the London School of Economics especially P. C. Davis. Anthony Hall's comments were very valuable. Thanks are due to the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Department of Political Science at Tel Aviv University for financial help in preparing this work for publication. Finally this study is dedicated to my wife Sarah who interrupted her studies to accompany me to Brazil and helped me in ways I cannot adequately acknowledge. | Social Policy In A Nondemocratic Regime The Case Of Public Housing In Brazil

Public Problems - Private Solutions? Globalizing Cities in the South

Public Problems - Private Solutions? Globalizing Cities in the South

Cities and city regions are undergoing rapid transformation. They are prime locations of innovation while at the same time facing growing problems of spatial fragmentation and social exclusion. By addressing these problems cities become forerunners for new patterns of governance which include increasingly private actors. While research on 'global' cities has focused primarily on the world's leading financial and economic centres comparative research on the changing role of large complex cities in the developing world is less advanced. But it is here where public problems are most seriously threatening the cohesion of urban society and where the need for new answers is most urgent. Illustrated by in-depth examinations of four city regions: Shanghai Mumbai Johannesburg and São Paulo this book readdresses this balance. The book revisits the same set of cities from different angles thereby reflecting urban contradictions juxtapositions and disjunctures. | Public Problems - Private Solutions?

Labels Making Independent Music

Labels Making Independent Music

The music industry is dominated today by three companies. Outside of it thousands of small independent record labels have developed despite the fact that digitalization made record sales barely profitable. How can those outsiders not only survive but thrive within mass music markets? What makes them meaningful and to whom? Dominik Bartmanski and Ian Woodward show how labels act as taste-makers and scene-markers that not only curate music but project cultural values which challenge the mainstream capitalist music industry. Focusing mostly on labels that entered independent electronic music after 2000 the authors reconstruct their aesthetics and ethics. The book draws on multiple interviews with labels such as Ostgut Ton in Berlin Argot in Chicago 100% Silk in Los Angeles Ninja Tune in London and Goma Gringa in Sao Paulo. Written by the authors of Vinyl this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the contemporary recording industry independent music material culture anthropology sociology and cultural studies. | Labels Making Independent Music

Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Despite the widespread promotion of children’s voices by activists and policy makers over the last decade the potential for young people’s knowledge to impact on adult agendas and policy arenas is by no means a certainty. This book presents critiques of participation in settings where young people are the centre of attention. The complexities and power-dynamics of youth- adult relationships are observed and analysed in a wide diversity of study environments from Hull to Sao Paulo rural Lesotho to Ghana using varied methods and over different time frames but with a strong focus throughout on context practice impacts and associated ethical considerations. The central concern of the book is not whether young people can produce better knowledge than adults but rather how to better understand the different knowledges which emerge from diverse actors within different generations in order to ensure that the maximum benefits accrue to children and young people with and for whom the research is conducted. This book was originally published as a special issue of Children's Geographies. | Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Cities and Sustainability A new approach

Cities and Sustainability A new approach

Cities are the most likely actors to design and bring about lasting sustainability. An agreement among the world’s larger cities is possible and likely a necessary but insufficient condition to achieve sustainable development. Cities and Sustainability explores the ways in which cities are both the biggest threat to sustainability and the most powerful tool to get us to sustainable development. Employing an innovative methodology to a complex issue the book proposes new metrics and approaches that assume cities as fundamental in the search for sustainability. Providing population projections for the world’s larger cities and a hierarchy of sustainable cities the author develops two new tools: (i) a cities approach to physical and socio-economic boundaries and (ii) sustainability costs curves. These tools are designed to be implemented in a multi-stakeholder integrated partnership that truly maximizes the benefits of cities in the quest for sustainability. Applying the tools outlined in the book to case studies from Dakar Mumbai Sao Paulo Shanghai and Toronto this volume will be of great relevance to students scholars and practitioners with an interest in urban and city management climate change and environment and sustainability more broadly. | Cities and Sustainability A new approach

Diasporic Social Mobilization and Political Participation during the Arab Uprisings

Diasporic Social Mobilization and Political Participation during the Arab Uprisings

The Arab protest movements of 2010-2011 gave momentum and inspiration to unprecedented political mobilisations of migrants of Arab origin whether first generation second generation or more in Europe North and South-America. This book analyses the essential yet understudied role of Arab diasporas during the Arab revolutions dissecting the new forms of diasporic mobilisations that emerged during the ‘Arab Spring’ and that were borrowed as much from the home countries’ repertoire of innovations as from global movements’ tactics from Wall Street to Sao Paulo. This collection is a very timely and much-welcome contribution to our understanding of the nexus between immigration and integration. At a time when the engagement of European youth in faraway violent conflicts is hitting the headlines all over Europe this book offers balanced and renewed academic perspectives on migrants belonging analysing how migrants use political engagement to assert their belonging in newly-imagined home countries and conversely how they get involved in the politics of their origin countries to bolster their identity in host nations. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies. | Diasporic Social Mobilization and Political Participation during the Arab Uprisings

The Globalizing Cities Reader

The Globalizing Cities Reader

The newly revised Globalizing Cities Reader reflects how the geographies of theory have recently shifted away from the western vantage points from which much of the classic work in this field was developed. The expanded volume continues to make available many of the original and foundational works that underpin the research field while expanding coverage to familiarize students with new theoretical and epistemological positions as well as emerging research foci and horizons. It contains 38 new chapters including key writings on globalizing cities from leading thinkers such as John Friedmann Michael Peter Smith Saskia Sassen Peter Taylor Manuel Castells Anthony King Jennifer Robinson Ananya Roy and Fulong Wu. The new Reader reflects the fact that world and global city studies have evolved in exciting and wide-ranging ways and the very notion of a distinct global class of cities has recently been called into question. The sections examine the foundations of the field and processes of urban restructuring and global city formation. A large number of new entries focus on the emerging urban worlds of Asia Latin America and Africa including Beijing Bogota Cairo Cape Town Delhi Istanbul Medellin Mumbai Phnom Penh Rio de Janeiro Sao Paulo and Shanghai. The book also presents cases off the conventional map of global cities research such as smaller cities and less known urban regions that are undergoing processes of globalization. The book is a key resource for students and scholars alike who seek an accessible compendium of the intellectual foundations of global urban studies as well as an overview of the emergent patterns of early 21st century urbanization and associated sociopolitical contestation around the world. | The Globalizing Cities Reader
