Malaysian Educators and Their Perspectives on the Iraq War: A Case Study
Cashman, Timothy G.
Research in Comparative and International Education, v2 n4 p346?354 2007
This case study provides perspectives on the War in Iraq with information collected from Sabah, Malaysia, educators. The author has analyzed input from Sabahan teachers regarding their discussions of United States-led war efforts in Iraq. The implications for discourse in Sabahan classrooms are described. The author then argues that Sabahan perspectives can impact discussions of the war's overall effects in American classrooms and, in turn, broaden the curriculum in American schools. (Contains 1 table.)
