We Make the Road by Walking by Myles Horton

Two pioneers of education discuss their diverse experiences and ideas
"We Make the Road by Walking is a book of compelling passion, politics, and hopeThe dialogue between Horton and Freire opens up new insights into the meaning of pedagogy, social criticism, and collective struggle. This book offers hope by demonstrating in the voices and practices of two of the great educator-activists of the twentieth century the reason for making pedagogy practical and theoretical in the service of social justice."
Professor Henry A. Giroux, Director, Center for Education and Cultural Studies, Miami University

This final conversation between two educator from different continents reveals their common dream of human liberation, their common commitment to love and justice."
Professor Ira Shor, College of Staten Island, CUNY
"The Myles Horton-Paulo Freire talks represent one of the most important educational conversations of the twentieth century.... This is the first book since Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed that I have said must be read."
