Jesus 'Pato' Gomez's seminal work comes to us at a time when love must become more than a notion, but our chosen way of life. As a friend, father, lover/husband, and beloved teacher, Pato shares with us his radicalization of love. How we all celebrate Pato's words, songs, and insights. With Pato, colors were brighter, music was filled with joy, and teaching was an act of love. He enacted his own revolution of love, and his book moves us to become all we can be." (Shirley R. Steinberg, Executive Director, The Freire Project: Critical Cultural Community, Youth, and Media Activism) "Jesus 'Pato' Gomez was one of the world's premier scholars on critical pedagogy and love. Gomez, in the spirit of his dear friend Paulo Freire, studied the power of a revolutionary love to address unequal power relationships among diverse individuals. Pato's scholarship was a great testimony to his genius as a critical pedagogue, and his revolutionary pedagogy was simply the way he lived his life. He was gifted in his ability to teach critical pedagogy through the example of his everyday love for people, his omnipresent joie de vivre, his informed empathy, and his critical interconnection with the people he knew."
