The final issue of Postcolonial Directions in Education for 2021 has been published as Vol.10 No 2.
It is a special issue dedicated to the Birth Centenary of Paulo Freire. It contains articles by some of the world's greatest scholars in Freire-inspired Critical Pedagogy and some of his closest allies and collaborators. It also contains articles from different parts of the world.
Authors include Inny Accioli, Ines Barbosa, Antonia Darder, Tal Dor, Henry A. Giroux, Ira Shor, João Texeira Lopes and Carlos A. Torres.
Tal Dor from the Bell Hooks and Paulo Freire Institute in Paris writes a moving tribute to the late Bell Hooks who died towards the end of December when the issue was well into production. Hooks, a leading USA public intellectual, whose writings touched many lives, was herself greatly inspired by Paulo Freire. A tribute to her is de rigueur in an issue such as this.
Peter Mayo reviews the most recent study on Freire by Argentinian Walter Omar Kohan who is ensconced as professor in Brazil. The book reviewed bears the title: Paulo Freire. An Intellectual Biography (Bloomsbury Academic). Together with co-Editor, Anne Hickling Hudson, Peter Mayo writes the Editorial Introduction to the volume.
