Lead, Follow, or Move Out of the Way!: Global Perspectives in Literature and Film

Lead, Follow or Move Out of the Way: Global Perspectives in Literature and Film is a collection of provocative, insightful, opinionated, and sometimes thoroughly disturbing pieces. Unlike the customary organization of anthologies―by genre, geography, or historical period―the thematic organization of the readings in Lead, Follow, or Move Out of the Way creates a truly global perspective, one which is both timeless and timely, as the reader can see how the most perplexing socio-political issues know no bounds.

Lead, Follow or Move Out of the Way by Monique Ferrell, Julian Williams, and Ruth Garcia:

• Features Man-made and Natural Disasters that enhances the global and social justice perspectives. Readers are helped to see that even the seemingly neutral acts of Mother Nature impact the poor and the voiceless disproportionately.
• Includes a listing of films--expanded in this new edition--that provide another means to access the texts and themes and are particularly useful for struggling readers. They enhance each theme and the editors’ thoughtful commentary provides an orientation for both teachers and students so that they might make informed choices about where to wander and what to wonder about.
• Can be used within a wide range of pedagogies, from student-directed to teacher-directed.
• Stimulates classroom discussions, writing, and actions that are purposeful, passionate, and informed.
• Contains numerous additional authors in this NEW edition
