The Passages
In the 1970s and 1980s, Freire did not have strong institutional support in the academic field of education.
p. 24
Read against the copy on the archive shelf, printed page 24, PDF page 41, under the running head 'Revolutionary Movements'. Gottesman's account names Giroux, not McLaren, as the route: Giroux and Freire met in 1983 and co-edited the Bergin and Garvey series 'Critical Studies in Education', which published Freire from 1985. Note against this: Freire's own foreword to Giroux's Theory and Resistance in Education (1983) says his close contact with Giroux's thought began 'two or three years before my return to Brazil after sixteen years of exile', which puts it around 1977 or 1978 and before Gottesman's 1983 meeting.
Peter McLaren cemented Freire’s position as the focal point of ‘cultural literacy’ discussions within the educational left in a 1988 article-length essay review of Literacy that pitted Freire against E.D. Hirsch
pp. 24-25
Read against the copy on the archive shelf, printed pages 24 and 25, PDF page 41; the sentence runs over the page break and the quoted span sits on page 24. 'HER' is the Harvard Educational Review, expanded by Gottesman earlier in the chapter. The typesetting space inside 'article-length' is closed here. This is a scholar's judgment about McLaren's effect on a debate, so it is reported and never documented.

The Institute for Social Research, driven out of Germany, was re-established at Columbia University in New York in 1934. The doctrine crossed the Atlantic with the men who wrote it, and everything downstream of this happens on the American side.

Marcuse published "Repressive Tolerance" in 1965, arguing that even-handed tolerance in an unequal society preserves domination, and that liberating tolerance would mean intolerance toward movements of the right and tolerance toward movements of the left.
