Pedagogy of the Poor: Building the Movement to End Poverty
presents a new kind of interdisciplinary pedagogy that brings together
antipoverty grassroots activism and relevant social theories about
poverty. Closely linked to the Poverty Initiative at Union Theological
Seminary, this unique book combines the oral history of a renowned
antipoverty organizer with accessible introductions to relevant social
theories, case studies, in-class student debates, and pedagogical
reflections. This multilayered approach makes the book useful to both
social activists committed to eradicating poverty and educators looking
for ways to teach about the struggles for economic and social justice.
Pedagogy of the Poor is an essential tool of self-education and leadership development for a broad social movement led by the poor to end poverty.
