Rethinking Globalization is 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. . . 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
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.
Having been a high school teacher in Japan, one resource that I have returned to repeatedly is Rethinking Globalization. [The book] offers an extensive collection of readings and source material on critical global issues. Through numerous role plays, interviews, poems, stories, background readings, cartoons, and hands-on teaching activities, the book offers a memorable introduction to the forces that are shaping the future of our world. —Mitch Teberg, MA
