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"
