Abstract
The focus of this chapter is the shift in pedagogy employed by the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) from radical to ‘mainstream’ education, and how this shift has impacted on solidarities within the organisation. Radical pedagogy is included in the paradigm of critical education and forms the cornerstone of popular education as it challenges oppressive relations and takes the knowledge of the oppressed as its starting point.
