The tone of this article is biographical and theoretical. Biographical, insofar as it concerns the author and his circumstances while also serving as a testimonial, probably partial and idiosyncratic, of the successes experienced by an entire generation of Argentineans in Diaspora. Although biographical, this is also a theoretical text that reviews the arguments that made the work of Freire and a generation of pedagogues for liberation relevant 55 years after Pedagogy of the Oppressed was published.
