I've seen it a couple of times, asked people if they have read it and everyone seem to have not.I feel like I'm on this ongoing search of self-actualization...yikes! it makes me cringe cause most people seem to already be there. I'm gonna check it out this weekend, hopefully it will help and I will no longer be the inarticulate person that I am....I just cringed again!!

I remember my mentor telling me about how people LOVE to quote Paulo Friere (as much as he and I both love Freire) but they never give credit where it's due when it comes to acknowledging the fact that a <i>Black</i> man from the US really set the footwork for folks like Friere. But Friere, on the other hand, is this lighter skinned dude from another country.. Interesting way to see things..
