"First Freire: Early writings in social justice education has brought fresh perspectives to the life and times of Freire while constructing the historical context, assembling the eclectic ideas, and reiterating the concepts which give Freire such staying power. This book implicitly drives home the message that the onus is on us, a public who cares enough to learn about the life of Freire, to continue to imagine, dream, experiment and innovate in education to strive for the world we want."-- International Review of Education
