Book excerpt: This book draws on empirical studies of classrooms teaching The Sirens of Baghdad by Yasmina Khadra to demonstrate how novels can effectively help achieve learning objectives related to intercultural understanding and global citizenship.

It outlines how, where, and why such literature can enhance students' understanding of different cultures and make them more globally aware citizens.
