Reviews of Paulo Freire's Books (1991 words) |
 | Myles Horton was definitely less prolific as a writer than Freire and it is possibly for this very reason that his contribution to transformative radical adult education has not been accorded the international recognition that it deserves. |
| In their introduction, the editors, all of whom were close associates of Myles Horton, divulge background information concerning the development of this book and contextualise the two men's efforts in the field of adult education, providing, in the process, useful biographical data on both. |
| Horton's views regarding competence and directiveness, within the context of a dialogical education, are supported by Freire's reiteration, in the section on 'Educational Practice', of the distinction between authority and authoritarianism in education. |
