"This book suggests that film can be a way of initiating a thoughtful and constructive response to violence. In fact, film is an unusually powerful and underused resource for teaching about that old fashioned but unvaluable subject, political morality. This collection explores the resources of film as a diagnostic tool that makes us aware of what's wrong with the world. Movies serve as moral teachers and even offer inspiration. [This] book will be an invaluable aid for anyone who wants to make thoughtful use of film. The essays are well argued; the pedagogical and substantive issued are helpfully explored". David H. Smith Director, The Poynter Center, Indiana University - "This book is a stimulating and informative guide for integrating film in teaching. It offers a provocative theoretical discussion--especially insightful are several chapters that examine gender, violence and domination--combined with useful practical applications, such as advice on classroom techniques and an extensive review of resources, including book and the internet. Eugene Rosi Executive Assistant to the President, Pine Manor College - "Violence can be domestic and subtle as well as abroad and brutal. This volume will help bring these issues alive through the use of film ... A reflective discussion and resource book for those of us not yet skilled in the use of media in tackling difficult subjects in the classroom." Judith H. Stiehm Professor of Political Science, Florida International University - "This book recognizes the power of film in modern society and in the lives of our students. I have found that film provides a unique and powerful tool for touching and changing student lives. The book builds on the attractiveness of film as a teaching tool while recognizing the dangers inherent in the medium." John W. Williams Professor of Political Science, Principia College
