  • Randle looks at the pros and cons of controversial topics in Latin America and Spain, examining not only familiar controversies--Columbus and the discovery, immigration, the Columbian drug cartel--but also areas that are of great interest in Spain and Latin America, not the United States. It is this multicultural perspective that makes the book particularly valuable....[t]his volume is packed with material written by a well-informed writer.
    —Multicultural Review     Summer 2004
Description: Spanish language classes now have a reference source to encourage critical thinking and debate important, current topics in Spain, Mexico, and the rest of Latin and South America. Issues in the Spanish-Speaking World offers 14 original and engaging chapters, each introducing a major issue in the headlines and providing pro and con positions for student debate, papers, and class presentations. Highlights include the Basque question, indigenous rights, the Christopher Columbus controversy, bullfighting, and the war on drugs in Colombia. Each chapter concludes with a Resource Guide and useful vocabulary to facilitate expression in Spanish.
