It is difficult to find an anthropologist who admire, but a person I admire and I think partly anthropological work has been done without having a diploma to certify is to Paulo Freire.
He was an educator and expert in education, of Brazilian origin. One of the most influential educational theorists of the twentieth century. He specialized in pedagogy through literacy, I admire him for the critical position that always kept about education and how he was able to implement their theoretical bases, especially what he called "the pedagogy of the oppressed".
This man has done anthropological work I admire most, and in future I would like to develop similar, serving the needs of the people and not the Academy.
The phrase that rescued him, or at least that is recurring in my life is: "It would indeed be naïve to expect that the ruling classes desarrollasen a form of education that allowed the dominated classes perceive social injustices critically. " I hope you enjoyed it as much as me
SEE YOU SOON;)
