Synopsis

Rethinking Globalization is the best single-volume source for teaching strategies that will help students make sense of an increasingly complicated and scary world. The book alerts readers to the challenges we face--from child labor to sweatshops, from global warming to destruction of the rain forests--and also spotlights the enormous courage and creativity of people working to set things right. This essential resource includes role plays, interviews, poetry, stories, background readings, and hands-on teaching tools. A winner of the World Hunger Year Media Award.

About this title

Review:

"A rich resource for educators who want to teach about global justice from a critical perspective." -- Harvard Educational Review "Harvard Educational Review"

"This volume moves us past provincialism and toward the hard work of educating students and teachers to be active and responsible global citizens. This is a simultaneously wonderful and disturbing text--exactly what we need right now." -- Gloria Ladson-Billings "Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of The Dreamkeepers"

"a breathtakingly rich collection of essays, photos, cartoons, poems, providing an extraordinary one-volume education on wealth, poverty, corporate power, and popular resistance in the contemporary world. The book is both a delight to read and treasury of ideas and information. I can think of no other book that teaches so much, so engagingly." -- Howard Zinn "author, of A People's History of the United States"

"Chock-full of ideas for helping students understand the many layers of globalization--all of which can be adapted for varying levels, including college and adult education courses." -- Sojourners magazine "Sojourners magazine"
