New book on Paolo Freire

The Comeuppance blog is a collection of thoughts on popular education, storytelling and activism for a possible better world. It stareted off with some important words for activists from William James: "It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true." A former colleague of Maltese academic Peter Mayo writes about the latter's Freire publication. From Comeuppance:

Peter Mayo, who has written the definitive comparison of Paulo Freire and Antonio Gramsci has just released a new book: Liberating Praxis: Paulo Freire's Legacy for Radical Education and Politics (Praeger, Boulder, Co., 2004). I, for one, can't wait to read it. Peter, myself a several others formed a popular education study group (inspired by the Naming the Moment Project) in 1990 that met for a year. I have followed Peter's work since and have always found it a source of excellent learning and reflection. Peter and I were also part of the editorial team that put together a special issue of Convergence on Paulo Freire. Here's a report and review of Peter's new book (launched along with another interesting one) posted on the University of Malta's site:
