Overview

El libro ofrece una rica introduccin a la cultura para estudiantes de niveles intermedios y avanzados de lengua a traves del estudio de las prcticas alimentarias. El texto presenta una visin global de los alimentos en el contexto de las diversas culturas y pases que componen el mundo de habla hispana. Combina temas de interes actual con la presentacin de artefactos y elementos relevantes de la cultura material, as como la contribucin de grupos etnicos. Hasta la fecha ningn libro de texto destinado al estudio del espaol ha utilizado la comida como el foco central desde el que aprender el idioma y adquirir conocimientos culturales. Este libro est dirigido a estudiantes avanzados de secundaria y estudiantes en el tercer y cuarto ao de espaol a nivel universitario. El libro puede utilizarse como una introduccin alternativa a los temas culturales y literarios tras finalizar el segundo ao de lengua gracias a la amplitud de los temas que trata. La informacin est organizada por temas y conceptos clave, con textos histricos y literarios que sirven de enriquecimiento y apoyo para los conceptos culturales. Cada captulo cuenta con una lectura principal en un tema clave (por ejemplo, las prcticas de la alimentacin azteca), seguido por secciones ms pequeas centradas en conceptos o en artefactos relacionados con el tema principal. Hay secciones sobre expresiones lingsticas relacionadas con el tema, ejercicios de comprensin de las lecturas, sugerencias para ejercicios de escritura y de trabajo individual o en grupo, as como temas de conversacin y debate. Cada captulo tambien contiene ilustraciones en forma de fotografas y dibujos. Este libro ofrece una atractiva oferta curricular, ya que permite la discusin de temas de cultura y de textos literarios en un contexto que es a la vez familiar y ameno para los estudiantes. El libro de texto tambien incluye presentaciones multimedia que hacen que el material y los conceptos sean de ms fcil comprensin. This is the first Spanish textbook to use food as the vantage point from which to learn language and acquire cultural literacy. It presents a rich introduction to food and food practices across the Hispanic world. It serves advanced secondary-level/high school students and students in third- and fourth-year Spanish at the university level who are furthering their knowledge of Hispanic cultures. Information is organized according to topics and key concepts, with historical and literary texts acting as enrichment and support for cultural concepts. Each chapter is comprised of a main reading on a key topic (for example, Aztec food practices) and followed by smaller sections on particular concepts or artifacts related to the main topic. There are sections on related language expressions, topics for discussion and suggested activities. Each chapter also contains illustrations in the form of colour photographs. Suggestions for video, audio and web links are listed for each chapter. The book has been successfully used in the author's university classes on food and culture over a number of years. It provides an attractive alternative to well-established curricular offerings because it allows for the discussion of culture and literary texts in a context that is both familiar and appealing to students. The textbook includes multimedia presentations that make the material and concepts easy to grasp.
