Roles of Resistance
Game Plans for Teachers and Troublemakers
Checking Availibility...Description
Welcome to class. Today, we'll be learning how to become (effective) troublemakers.
In this classroom, no one gets in trouble for defying authority. Designed for educators and facilitators from the union hall to the lecture hall, Roles of Resistance outlines revolutionary lesson plans on how to fight the power with people power. The thirteen lesson plans in this book created by John-Henry Harter and Mark Leier can be used independently or combined to create a semester-long course. Sections include units on teaching political economy, labour history, and social activism based on democratic, experiential teaching, including role-plays, simulations, and games. The tried and tested classroom activities in this teacher's guide--successfully applied in high schools, universities, and union classrooms--are bound to create a vibrant learning experience, enriching debates, and providing the main tool we need to change the world: collective action.

Reviews
"I have been waiting for a book like Roles of Resistanc for a long time, and I will be using it in both classrooms and organizing for even longer. John-Henry Harter and Mark Leier have given teachers and organizers a true gift with these practical activities that empower learners to draw on their own experiences in order to actively analyze fundamental questions of power, possibility, and struggle."
--Jeremy Milloy, associate professor, Department of History, Wayne State University
