    First Freire is a fascinating discourse on the meaning and power of Freire's
    contribution by a noted colleague and scholar. Fascinating.
    Henry M. Levin, William Heard Kilpatrick Professor of Economics and
    Education, Teachers College, Columbia University

    Professor Torres successfully combines, in unconventional ways, his personal
    reminiscences of Freire with essays that illuminate Freires political philosophy
    and thoughts on the anthropology of education, demonstrating specific
    approaches one can use to engage in the method of thematic investigation
    proposed by Freire. A considerable merit of this book is how it persuasively shows the timely relevance of the critical
    observations of this great Latin American thinker to contemporary society, as we struggle to go beyond economic and
    technological globalization to rebuild our changed but still community-oriented selves. Nelly P. Stromquist,
    professor, University of Maryland

    In his new book, Carlos Alberto Torres, an internationally renowned critical theorist of education, explores the early
    writings of Paulo Freire whose ideas have had a tremendous and long-lasting impact on the world of pedagogy and
    politics. Torres analyzes Freires works, from the 1960s and 1970s, before Freire gained worldwide recognition for his
    Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Offering an in-depth look into the formative thinking of Freire, Torres identifies how his
    ideas produced frameworks for educating global citizens, building community and mutual respect, creating social
    responsibility, instilling an appreciation for diversity, promoting multiple literacies, and social justice education. This
    volume is the result of more than 3 decades of research drawn from Freires personal library and the archives of the
    Paulo Freire Institute, as well as the authors extensive conversations with Paulo Freire over 2 decadesDr. Torres
    was Freires adviser during his tenure as Secretary of Education in the Municipality of So Paulo, Brazil, 1989-1991.

    Carlos Alberto Torres is a political sociologist of education and professor of social sciences and comparative
    education, associate dean for global programs, and founding director of the Paulo Freire Institute, Graduate School
    of Education and Information Studies-UCLA. He is also president of the World Council of Comparative Education
    Societies (2013-2016). Visit the authors blog at www.carlosatorres.com.
