Description

"Deepening and broadening our understanding of what it means to teach in times of trauma, writing teachers analyze their own responses to national traumas ranging from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to the various appropriations of 9/11. Offering personal, historical, and cultural perspectives, they question both the purposes and pedagogies of teaching writing."--Jacket.

First Sentence

IN THE APRIL 2002 issue of Harper's Magazine, Thomas de Zengotita argued pessimistically that, six months after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, much of the American public was "over it."
