TESTING THE CURRICULUM IN ITS NATURAL SETTING

In “Education, liberation and the church,” Paulo Freire uses the metaphor of apprenticeship to describe a form of liberative education for people of faith who begin to discover the ways in which they benefit from the systemic oppression of other human beings. As depicted in ten oral history interviews conducted with the organization's staff, board members, and volunteer supporters, the National Farm Worker Ministry emerges as a contemporary example of Freirian apprenticeship that can offer valuable insight to those seeking to promote similar educational experiences.
