Notes
1. Mayo is aware of this distinction and addresses this issue by noting that ‘I feel that, as long as the studies being produced are rigorous, do justice to Freire’s own ideas, provide fresh critical perspectives and shed further light on the complex thinking of this often misunderstood figure, they are most welcome’ (33). Fortunately for the readers, this book meets its author’s own standards.
2. This chapter is quite relevant and by far one of the best articulations of how seven broad holistic perspectives have engaged Freire’s ideas. However, given the large quantity of material on this author, I wish Mayo had included a specific analysis of peer‐reviewed journal articles on Freire.
3. Popular education, critical pedagogy, eco‐pedagogy, transformative education and public pedagogy are some of the names of educational approaches that are heirs to the Freirean legacy.
