Two until-then-untranslated studies: Education as the Practice of Freedom and Extension or Communication. Freire is Brazilian, but Extension focuses on how to create a new agrarian society in Chile. Freedom centers around political change in Brazil, with Freire drawing specific scenarios to be be reread as opportunities for education as humanization. Both studies have the stakes and seriousness which made Freire a discipline-defining figure: building an organic process of practical learning in the countryside atop layers of reflection around the nature of human existence and political revolution. 
 
"Integration with one's context, as distinguished from adaptation, is a distinctively human activity. Integration results from the capacity to adapt oneself to reality plus the critical capacity to make choices and to transform that reality."
