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. The lopsided dialectic is one that encourages patriotism and militarism, conceals imperialism, and shuts out Muslim voices. Interviews with Muslim American students and high school teachers plus textual analysis of high school U.S. history textbooks demonstrate how curriculum and educators impact marginalized students’ identities and sense of belonging. As Muslim students describe their isolation and fear, and teachers discuss the challenges they face, readers will also learn how "us versus them" rhetoric deflects attention from the erosion of democratic values and the underlying socio-economic reasons for the War on Terror. Dialectics of 9/11 and the War on Terror: Educational Responses is easy-to-read and directed toward teachers, scholars, and curriculum developers, and includes actionable suggestions for teaching these topics in a balanced and holistic way. The ultimate goal of Dialectics of 9/11 and the War on Terror: Educational Responses is to grow critical dialectical pedagogy (CDP), a new introduction to the field of critical pedagogy, in order to nurture the next generation of global citizens. Dialectics of 9/11 and the War on Terror: Educational Responses can be used in teacher training, curriculum and instruction, multicultural education, secondary social studies education, research in education courses, as well as other areas of instruction.

The Hansen family breathed a collective sigh of relief when the summer following Jaden's suicide attempt had passed uneventfully. Although everyone who loved him had felt some responsibility for the near-catastrophe, Jaden's father, Donnie, carried the heaviest guilt. He professed a determination to guide his son through adolescence in a more positive way. Jaden's mother, Alice, was relieved by her husband's change in attitude, but concerned that issues in his past would re-surface and make his acceptance of Jaden's sexual orientation impossible. The new school year was about to begin, and the twins, Jaden and Jenny, their older brother, Brandon, and Jaden's best friend, Devon, would all be in high school together. Jaden had resolved to make this a better year, and toward that end, had talked his boyfriend, Trevor, his friend, Ricardo, and Devon into joining the swim team with him. This experience changed everything for him. When Jenny and Devon tried to get an anti-bullying club started, they never imagined the showdown they would face when bigots and zealots turned out at a school board meeting.

As Jaden becomes more comfortable with himself and his new friends, he questions his relationship with Trevor. Perhaps there is someone he likes more.

A lyrical narrative of a Palestinian family in exile explores universal bonds of family, loyalty, and friendship through the lens of eleven Arabic expressions for love. A family has fled their homeland in search of safety in another country, carrying a single suitcase. As their journey unfolds, the oldest child reflects on the special contents of that suitcase: photo albums that evoke eleven of many names for love in Arabic. From sunshine-warm friendship to the love that dissolves all tears; from the love that makes you swoon to the love that leaves you yearning for the heart's homeland--her family has experienced it all. Illustrated in vibrant watercolor pencil and collage on textured card stock, this moving scrapbook shows a family embracing an unknown future even as they honor the past, casting immigration and the refugee experience in the light of universal human connection.
