Greenwood Publishing Group : The Latino American Experience

Description

To some extent, from politics to music, from cuisine to sports, Hispanic culture is the result of a series of serendipitous encounters that have taken place over more than 500 years. Not only are Mexicans, Guatemalans, Cubans, Dominicans, Colombians, Ecuadorians, and other Hispanics different from one another, but every one of the 44 million individuals form unique, self-sufficient communities filled with possibilities.

-"Greenwood's Latino American Experience paints a mural that is as intricate and as colorful as the lives, history, and events that fill its pages. This database provides the sort of unique content that might only be found within the special collections of a large public or university library....The Latino American Experience provides students and teachers with resources previously unavailable. Teachers will appreciate the Lesson Plans, which include National Standards, Strands, Objectives, Historical Perspectives of the subject, materials needed (including dowloadable organizers and rubrics), key questions, points of view, directions, assessment tools, and even extentions to the research assignment. Students will enjoy the ability to easily locate often hard-to-find pieces of information, as well as the 2.0 elements including a blog....[L]atino American Experience deserves an A+ for bring together an important piece of the puzzle which truly does create an American Mosaic." —School Library Journal
