{"product_id":"meaningful-encounters-paula-ressler-9781475822083","title":"Meaningful Encounters: Preparing Educators to Teach Holocaust Literature","description":"Teaching about the Holocaust presents one of the most formidable challenges teachers face. Meaningful Encounters is Paula Ressler and Becca Chase's contribution to the efforts of those educators who wish to meet this challenge more knowledgeably and effectively. It tells the story of a unique, inquiry-based English teacher education course focused on Holocaust literature from several genres that integrated literacy pedagogies and literary criticism with historical, philosophical, psychological, and political theories and contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book involves the reader in the complicated tangle of Holocaust education, critically illuminating how difficult this work is, but also demonstrating how teachers can introduce their students responsibly and ethically to this perennially relevant body of literature. The authors offer no facile solutions to the obstacles and pitfalls inherent in teaching this literature. They raise questions, pose problems, consider and analyze how participants responded to issues that emerged, and suggest alternative approaches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors recount the students' and teacher's unsettling and enlightening experiences, failures, and successes. By following along, preservice educators will be able to conceptualize, discuss, and practice, and inservice teachers and teacher educators rethink, how to teach Holocaust and other literatures about genocide and mass atrocities in culturally relevant and meaningful ways today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula Ressler, Becca Chase\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475822081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475822083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Paula Ressler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123886027007,"sku":"9781475822083","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65110801-4aea-4fcc-9011-c835cb295539.jpg?v=1687433467","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/meaningful-encounters-paula-ressler-9781475822083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
