4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book for multicultural studies in elementary schools,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Golden Tales: Myths and Legends from Latin America (Paperback)
One of the best ways that you can learn the background of a culture is to read their myths and legends. They are a way to reach back into the very origins of the society that has perpetuated them. In this case, some of the legends are not all that old, having as their basis the first arrival of the Spanish conquistadores.
Those involving the Spanish are some of the saddest myths, in that they were created by a people that were being decimated, yet the older ones had memories of when they were a great and powerful people. The title is a bit inaccurate, for the area of the origin of the myths extends down to Columbia and Peru, which is South America. I always enjoy reading myths; they are one of the best ways to perform multicultural studies while entertaining. This book is a worthy addition to the study of other cultures in elementary schools. |
