Drawing on the work of renowned critical educator Paulo Freire, this book argues that education should not simply transmit knowledge, but should also challenge oppressive power structures and foster critical consciousness. Militant education is not about indoctrinating students, but about empowering them to think critically, question authority, and take action for social change.

Through a series of powerful case studies, the book explores how militant education has been used in struggles for racial justice, gender equality, and economic liberation. From the Black Panther Party's Freedom Schools to the Zapatista movement in Mexico, militant education has played a crucial role in mobilizing people and challenging the status quo.

The book also provides a theoretical framework for understanding militant education, drawing on critical theory, postcolonialism, and liberation theology.
