“I
remember, for example, how much I was helped by reading Frantz Fanon. That is
great writing. When I read Fanon I was in exile in Chile. A young man who was
in Santiago on a political task gave me the book, The Wretched of the Earth. I
was writing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, and the book was almost finished when I
read Fanon. I had to rewrite the book in order to begin to quote Fanon” (Horton
& Freire, 1990, p.36).
