Highly rated and ranked among top adult education books, it’s essential reading for anyone passionate about transformative education. ## Description This dialogue between two of the most prominent thinkers on social change in the twentieth century was certainly a meeting of giants. Throughout their highly personal conversations recorded here, Horton and Freire discuss the nature of social change and empowerment and their individual literacy campaigns. Review: I highly recommend We Make the Road by Walking... - This is a valuable summary of the work of two giants in the field of education for social change. Myles Horton founded the Highlander Center in Tennessee, where legions of social activists were trained in political analysis and non-violent resistance--Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks, to name but two of the most famous. Paulo Freire of Brazil developed a whole new form of teaching activism, from which Popular Education developed. Pop Ed, as it is affectionately called, has been used around the world to work with poor and oppressed peoples in analyzing their situation in order to work for change. The book is delightfully readable, and fills in many gaps about the lives and philosophy of these two world changers. A must read for anyone who is truly interested in education for change. Review: Because they decided to "speak a book together" it reads like a conversation - This book is a gem that I had no idea it existed until visiting the Highlander. Both Myles Horton and Paulo Freire offer wise insight into education for social change within the system and outside the existing system. Because they decided to "speak a book together" it reads like a conversation. ## Features - Great product! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #304,756 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #228 in Adult & Continuing Education (Books) #334 in Philosophy & Social Aspects of Education | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 160 Reviews | ## Images ![We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n55HGplGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend We Make the Road by Walking... *by C***N on June 11, 2013* This is a valuable summary of the work of two giants in the field of education for social change.
