His thoughts on citizenship, which he calls the oppressed and the oppressors, are in line with the theory of critical citizenship. Freire has the thought of redefining the concept of citizenship for the oppressed so that they are free from the shadows of the oppressors and free both of them in a humane situation (humanization).
