Totten's Teaching about Genocide provides insights and advice from secondary teachers and professors, many with decades of teaching experience, not to mention writings touching on every major identified genocide. Key is the volume's interdisciplinary, as well as multinational approach. The time-deprived educator will find abundant strategies, caveats, and electronic resource possibilities. Significantly, political will is contrasted with political won't, as students are encouraged to become constructive activists in an age of genocides. -- William Younglove, Holocaust Studies Instructor, California State University Long Beach A much-needed and extraordinarily useful resource, Teaching about Genocide: Insights and Advice from Secondary Teachers and Professors will provide educators with well-reasoned and experienced based information on teaching about genocide. Drawing upon the expertise of both secondary and college and university professors, this impressive work examines rationales for teaching about genocide and offers practical pedagogical strategies from a variety of academic disciplines and geographical locations. The importance of this issue demands a timely and powerful resource such as this book. -- Stephen Feinberg, former Director of National Outreach, Education Division, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
