[LM_NET] SEC: Genocide fiction and memoirs

[Tish Carpinelli <carpinellit@LCMRSCHOOLS.COM>]

I have a 10th- 12th grade teacher who covers genocide and other human
atrocities (such as child prostitution) in her classes. She is interested in
gathering together titles (fiction or memoirs mostly) for outside readings
and possibly literature circles - for a classroom library. I've already
suggested the following titles, but I'm wondering if anyone has any other
ideas. TIA!

 

Sold (McCormick)

The Story of My Life (Ahmedi)

Tree Girl (Mikaelsen)

I, Rigoberta Menchu

Zlata's Diary (Filipovic)

West of Kabul; East of New York (Ansary)

Tangled Threads (Shea)

Children of Cambodia's Killing Fields (Pran)

Farewell to Manzanar (Houston)

We Just Want to Live Here (Rifa'I and Ainbinder)

Over a Thousand Hills I Walk With You (Jansen)
