Product Description
Founded in 1926, the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin has become one of the world's great libraries for the study of Latin America, as well as the largest university library collection of Latin American materials in the United States. Encompassing all parts of the Western Hemisphere that were ever under the sway of the Spanish or Portuguese empires, the Benson Collection documents Latin American history and culture from the first European contacts to the current activities of Latino/as in the United States. Scholars, students, and members of the public from around the world regularly use the multifaceted, multimedia resources of the Benson. This lavishly illustrated volume presents the treasures of the Benson Latin American Collection - books, maps, manuscripts, engravings, art prints, photographs, newspapers, and periodicals dating from around 1500 to the present - to visually explain how the collection has documented the vitality of the New World for research, especially in the social sciences.The materials pictured in the book are organized around four broad themes: the diversity and immensity of the physical landscape, the peopling of the New World, its political and economic evolution, and its cultural development. The concluding chapters explore the functions of the Benson Collection, which gathers materials demonstrating human advancement from indigenous writing to electronic information, while also providing reference and technical services to a worldwide community of researchers. ...

Product Description

This book presents a bilingual introduction to five Spanish-speaking countries and one commonwealth: Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Puerto Rico. Each chapter combines simple, tantalizing recipes with general and cultural information, suggestions for additional learning opportunities, vocabulary, a short fiction reading list, and Internet resources.

The Latino population is the fast-growing minority in this country, and educational resources for and about Hispanics remain scarce. The purpose of this bilingual work is two-fold: to introduce young Americans to diverse Latino cultures and to build cultural awareness among Hispanic students. It is also hoped that the material will help bridge the generations in Hispanic families—between older family members with limited English, and younger members with limited Spanish. Focusing on countries with significant immigration populations in the United States, this book offers educators and librarians tools to explore the cultures of Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Colombia—with geographical and statistical information, history, recipes, resources, learning extensions, and sources for further information. Chapters present background information about the countries, including images of the flags, maps, and coats of arms, followed by simple recipes that can be prepared by young people. Recipes feature ingredients and agricultural products of the countries with brief descriptions and illustrations. A list of learning opportunities and a more detailed learning launch helps educators extend learning throughout the curriculum. Brief English-Spanish vocabulary lists are also included. Resources for further learning direct users to pertinent Web sites and print materials. The book concludes with a glossary of cooking terms and techniques, utensils, and ingredients and a general bibliography. Grades 4-8.
