"Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in 'changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them', for the more the oppressed can be led to adapt to that situation, the more easily they can be dominated". (Pedagogy of the Oppressed, page 74.)I wish, so sincerely, that I could collect every copy of this book and destroy them all. This book - and the ideology that informs it - is racist, classist, and contributes to the continued marginalization of disenfranchised groups. Having read and studied the book in a graduate teacher education program, my best summary of Payne's philosophy is: we can fix poverty by teaching poor people to stop acting so poor and uneducated. (Biggest eye roll of all time).Look up basically any peer-reviewed study or article written by the big voices in multicultural/social justice education. Shortcut: they're all extremely critical of Ruby Payne's work. Although she has a reputation with schools as being quite progressive, her work is actually doing a lot of harm. In one study, researchers found that teachers who have been exposed to Payne's work actually are much more likely to perpetuate racism and classism in their schools.Here's a great article (peer-reviewed! By a qualified scholar in the field!) that helped me understand:http://www.edchange.org/publications/Peddling-Poverty-Payne.pdfIt also turns out that Payne's work, unlike the work of her critics, is based on absolutely no real research - she admits that she has not engaged in any structured inquiry, that no data exist to back her theories, and that her work is based on her own casual observations.
