Certainly Myles Horton, The Highlander School and the popular education "freedom schools" of the 1930's through the present can claim a kind of emancipatory education tradition in United States.  Also, certain applications of the theories of Malcolm Knowles through Jack Mezirow can also be considered emancipatory.
 
Many, many adult educators in the United States will claim the heirtage of Paolo Freire... and therefore emancipatory critical andradogy.

The term "emancipatory education" for me has connotations of the leftist
