Abstract

Over many decades, Peter McLaren's works have become fundamental references for the solidification of critical theory. In this essay, McLaren discusses important elements of his intellectual approach to the dialectical and dialogical complexity of Paulo Freire's work, sealed by their solid friendship. The author's narrative includes memories of meetings with Freire and the importance of Freire's theory to foster educational principles and practices based on counter-hegemonic struggles and on combatting the current dynamics of power, anchored in neoliberal and neoconservative policies.
