'This review of Freire's work and its international reception is one of the most accurate one can hope to come across. It is extremely impressive with regard to its breath of coverage and is very detailed. This should be a vademaecum for anyone concentrating on Freire's large oeuvre. It derives from an expert hand, the hand of a person who is well steeped in Latin American and critical pedagogical politics and who has studied Freire's works and that of other writers thoroughly. Bravo Daniel! It will be a major source of reference.' Peter Mayo, Head of the Department of Education Studies, University of Malta
