James Chisholm and Kathryn Whitmore show us how to enter into ethically answerable engagements with Holocaust literature and other challenging texts in ways that map new lines of seeing! being! and feeling! not only with texts! but with the world. I can't think of anything more welcome! more important! more urgent for English teachers to do when so many in our world are living in precarity! and when so much of the planet is in peril. Chisholm and Whitmore unchain creativity through multimodal literacies and the promises of transmediation! thereby multiplying the possibilities for relating to the world and for mapping a better one."?Karen Spector!
