Quote by Paulo Freire
This work deals with a very obvious truth: just as the oppressor, in order to oppress, needs a theory of oppressive action, so the oppressed, in order to become free, also need a theory of action.
Summary
This quote suggests that both oppressors and the oppressed require a theory or understanding of how to take action in order to either maintain or overcome oppression. It emphasizes the idea that the oppressed need to develop their own theory of action in order to become free from their oppressors. This highlights the importance of knowledge, empowerment, and strategizing for those who are subject to oppression, as without a theory of action, they may remain trapped in their oppressive circumstances.
