Book review: Teaching politics beyond the book: film, texts and new media in the classroom

"Teaching Politics Beyond the Book: Film, Texts and New Media in the Classroom." Robert W. Glober and Daniel Tagliarina (eds.). Bloomsbury Academic. January 2013. --- To teach political issues such as political struggle, justice, and interstate conflict, educators rely mostly on textbooks and lectures. However, many other forms of narrative exist that can elevate our understanding of such issues. This book seeks new ways to foster learning beyond the textbook and lecture model, by using creative and new media, including graphic novels, animated films, hip-hop music, Twitter, and more.
