Mwangaza Michael-Bandele, Carl Grant, Liane Summerfield and their authors have put together a groundbreaking book designed to help prepare teachers for engagement in HIV and AIDS prevention. This is not some simple how-to-teach manual but a pedagogical manifesto that brings numerous perspectives and multilogical understanding to this global crisis. Humanizing Pedagogy through HIV and AIDS Prevention will serve as a model for future books on teacher education. -- Joe L. Kincheloe, Canada Research Chair, Faculty of Education, McGill University This is an amazing treatise of courage and compassion placed directly where it belongs ! in the midst of our pedagogy. It reminds us that turning away from a problem does not make it go away. -- Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings, Ph.D., Professor, University of Wisconsin--Madison; President, American Educational Research Association, 2005 This excellent and very interesting collection of essays addresses the scientific, political, sociocultural, religious, economic, and cultural aspects of HIV/AIDS. It makes the case for teachers to think out of the box and know that 'temples of betterment'--our schools, which more than 53 million students attend every day--must be about more than teaching the three R's (Reading, Riting, and Rithmatic); a fourth must be added for Responsibility. The HIV virus is still with us. Every member of the community has a role to play to prevent it from spreading. Teachers and students must be taught how to assume their role if we hope to build a future without AIDS. The book is a must read for all teachers. -- Dr. M. Joycelyn Elders, MD, former U.S. Surgeon General; Distinguished Professor of Public Health, University of Arkansas School of Public Health
