Paulo Freire and Henry Giroux, authors of dense and original theorisations and references for education for decades, resignify concepts to tone Critical Pedagogy and sediment democratic relations in the educational act. In the context of Paulo Freire’s centenary, this interview covers the meeting between these two great intellectuals, bound by an epistemological affinity nourished by a long and solid friendship. Through his memories and interpretation of Freire’s theory, Giroux recognises the importance of Paulo Freire’s legacy, and reaffirms a political and pedagogical approach to his theory as a crucial dimension for the democratisation of school and society.
