Has anyone here read it? I’m listening to the audiobook and it’s kind of interesting, and I’ve picked out a few things (at least I know a tiny bit about Hegel, Fanon, Sarte, and Bergson), but why is it so jargon-y and confusing? Is there anything else I should have read first? I feel like all I’m getting out of it is what I already know from ‘Oppose book worship’ by Mao, or the bit of ‘wretched of the earth’ by fanon that I remember. What are your thoughts on the book?
The book’s certainly not worthless, but for someone advocating for the language of the people and duologue with the people he certainly uses a lot of language that wouldn’t be understandable to the vast majority of the masses. “Trust me bro, I totally have to use the word Conscientizacao”
