...essence his book is a handbook for radical educators. The heavy, often repetitive, Hegelian-Marxist style used in the larger theoretical portion of the book can lead one to forget that the principles spoken of were used, refined, and tested by over a decade of actual work in the fields and flavelas of Latin America. That most of the ideas expressed in Pedagogy of the Oppressed appear distinctively logical, right, and just is not only the consequence of the real-world testing of them, but also a reflection of the brilliant synthesis Paolo Freire has accomplished of many diverse theological...
...begins as Jesse Harte, the sole survivor of one of those Christmas family massacres in which the unemployed father shoots his wife and children and then takes his own life. He is adopted by Dr and Mrs. Pedersen of Lockport, N.Y., and assumes their name.

Missing deadline after deadline, his mind and pen ever poised to examine any key issue at Hegelian lengths, Chambers must have been difficult to fit into the everyday demands of editorship. Clearly the man and his words were worth all the trouble. It is hard not to agree with Buckley's valediction composed after Chambers' death in 1961. He speaks "to our time from the center of sorrow...
