Opis

Dialectics of 9/11 and the War on Terror: Educational Responses examines how global financial and socio-political systems propagate a lopsided dialectic of current events that influences teachers' pedagogies of 9/11 and the War on Terror.

Recenzje

"In a time of growing global White Supremacy and mounting hostility against Muslims and other minorities, it is crucial to rethink Paulo Freire's emancipatory pedagogy. This book builds on Pedagogy of the Oppressed and introduces an original dialectical framework to help teachers unlock the secrets behind the damaging dialectic and improve their curriculum and instruction of 9/11, the War on Terror, and Muslims. The book is easy to read and will engage teachers, scholars, and curriculum developers in an empirical and intellectual journey." -Ricky Lee Allen, Associate Professor of Language, Literacy & Sociocultural Studies, University of New Mexico
