Pedagogy of the Oppressed‚ falls into the political philosophy genre. After I read Chapter 2 of Pedagogy of the Oppressed‚ my first thought was about the reservation boarding school system. Indian schooling started with missionaries and teachers in missionary schools were at least as interested in salvation as in education.

For the majority of my life‚ I’ve never worried about being oppressed. I’ve been lucky enough to be raised in a middle class‚ white family.

Due to being a woman‚ I’m likely to be shamed for the way I present myself. For example‚ I’m unable to have my hair grow out (underarms or legs) without being scorned by others. Through personal
