Dialectics of 9/11 and the War on Terror
"In the post-9/11 United States, classrooms have too often become spaces of paranoia and hostility against Muslim American youth. This powerful book proposes an original dialectical pedagogy that can work past misrepresentations and caricatures in curriculum and the media to include the voices of students. Elbih grounds her urgent practical recommendations for educators in her own empirical investigation, as well as in a crucial political and historical contextualization of Islamophobia that has been missing until now in the field of education. Theoretically astute and comprehensively researched, Dialectics of 9/11 and the War on Terror is necessary reading for all teachers, scholars, and cultural workers committed to supporting Muslim American students in these difficult times." —Noah De Lissovoy, Associate Professor of Cultural Studies in Education, University of Texas at Austin

"In a time of growing global White Supremacy and mounting hostility against Muslims and other minorities, it is crucial to rethink Paulo Freire’s emancipatory pedagogy. This book builds on Pedagogy of the Oppressed and introduces an original dialectical framework to help teachers unlock the secrets behind the damaging dialectic and improve their curriculum and instruction of 9/11, the War on Terror, and Muslims. The book is easy to read and will engage teachers, scholars, and curriculum developers in an empirical and intellectual journey." —Ricky Lee Allen, Associate Professor of Language, Literacy & Sociocultural Studies, University of New Mexico
