Zusatztext "Seeds of Freedom proves with insight and rigor how important the work of Freire and the project of liberating education is on a global level! especially in Latin America. Pedagogy as the practice of freedom takes on new meaning in this book and offers a historical and contextual understanding of the power of education when it is connected to social change. This is a powerful and important book and should be on everyone's reading list."-Henry Giroux! McMaster University"Seeds of Freedom is an extraordinary pedagogical tribute to a collective educational process! made possible by the unwavering commitment of a people to a liberating praxis for social change. Through on-going efforts by students! parents! and educators of the impoverished village of Santa Maria! a strong vision of liberatory education finds fertile ground to grow and evolve. Rooted in the philosophy of Mayan tradition! indigenous knowledge powerfully infuses life into this pedagogical struggle to recapture the human dignity of an oppressed community. In the midst of historical brutalities and the contradictions of everyday life! Clark Taylor weaves here an educational story of communal faith! hope! and perseverance-a story that emerges from a tiny fragile seed in the countryside of Guatemala! to become a global testimony to the indomitable power of a determined people to transform their destiny."-Antonia Darder!
