Comparative Education Review, v45 n1 p140-48 Feb 2001
Three books, published 1999-2000, map out a vision of education as a vehicle for human emancipation and global transformation. Their approaches to presenting the "big picture" differ, focusing on case studies of learning through local social action; the impact of Che Guevara and Paulo Freire on liberation discourse worldwide; and comprehensive analysis of capitalism, oppression, and critical pedagogy.
