Rhetoric, Witnessing, and Social Action in a Time of Standards and Accountability

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This inquiry into the ethical implications of education reform on reading practices asks what is lost, hidden, or marginalized in the name of progress? The author shows how genocide literature illuminates the ethics of reading and helps teachers and students rethink how literature should be taught and the purposes of education more broadly.
