Memories of Paulo

Wilson, T., Park, P., & Colón-Muñiz, A. (Eds.) Memories of Paulo. Rotterdam,
the Netherlands:  Sense Publishers. (119-120).

Memories of Paulo is a beautiful book, one that is enmeshed with humanity,
humility and love, reflecting the life and work of Paulo Freire. Many of us
know Freire through his writing and dissemination of ideas, which have
gained currency over the past few decades in a number of circles around the
world. But this book does not seek to offer a critique of Freire’s work.
Rather, what distinguishes this work is that it involves a diverse
collection of scholars and friends, talking and writing about what and who
Freire was. We learn that he lived his life in an exceptional way, human
and humane, filled with moments that have touched a range of people from
all walks of life. As powerful as his message was, this book brings to
light the true meaning of radical love, and it is clear that he injected
love into his life-journey. Filled with stories, anecdotes and memories of
Paulo, the book makes one question the meaning of education, and of life.
Memories of Paulo is nothing short of an abrazo from those who loved a man
who touched so many. Through this text, we learn a great deal about Paulo
Freire, his life and his work, and we also learn of the profound impact
that he has made on so many.
