Ethnographic Contextualization of Freire's Discourse: Consciousness-Raising, Theory and Practice.

Gottlieb, Esther E.; La Belle, Thomas J.

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v21 n1 p3-18 Mar 1990

Integrates the results of a formalist discourse analysis of Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" with field observations of his programs in Latin America. Identifies some features of Freire's discursive construction of knowledge. Documents the practice of Freire's rehumanizing discourse within consciousness-raising programs in both revolutionary and prerevolutionary societies. (Author/JS)
