Book Description
This book is a collection of 21 folklore stories in two languages, English and Spanish. These stories were told by older adults in the Rio Grande Valley, which is a place located at the U.S. and Mexico border with a unique borderland culture. There is a distribution of Mexican and American customs and beliefs blended with colonial culture. The original project was part of a course which focused on teaching cultural competency to social work students through storytelling. The goal of this collection is to connect the older Mexican-American adults with the younger generation and empower youth who have been under ongoing pressure, strain and societal expectations to acculturate and assimilate, to discover their roots and personal histories which shape them. It is an invitation to Mexican-American youth to embrace their culture and integrate their own reality of culture while appreciating the mainstream culture. The stories are presented with relevant and meaningful drawings and discussion questions. This book is a collaborative work of the School of Social Work and the School of Art at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV).
