Paulo Freire: The Fear of Freedom | Pedagogy of the Oppressed
A reading from Chapter 1 of Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1968), in English and then in Urdu translation.
Freire writes that the oppressed take in the image of the oppressor and follow his rules, and so they come to fear freedom. To be free, they must throw out that image and replace it with their own autonomy and responsibility. In his words, “Freedom is acquired by conquest, not by gift.”
The Urdu translation and the subtitles were prepared with AI tools.
