Book Description
"¿Desde cuándo se habla español en los Estados Unidos y cuantas personas lo hablan hoy en día? ¿Se está transmitiendo el español de generación en generación? ¿Qué papel juega el español en la identidad latina en los Estados Unidos? A partir del análisis y síntesis de datos que provienen de una amplia gama de recursos, Escobar y Potowski exploran estas preguntas y otras en este texto con información actualizada, dirigido a estudiantes de la lengua española, lingüística, bilingüismo, sociolingüística, cultura e historia. Las características esenciales del texto incluyen: Más de 150 ejercicios que posibilitan que el estudiante se familiarice con los rasgos del español, en el contacto dialectal que ocurre entre variedades de español, en el bilingüismo y en las comunidades hispanohablantes de los Estados Unidos; Los ejercicios y los ejemplos con recursos externos y en línea permiten que los estudiantes sean expuestos al español de diferentes medios, como la música, entrevistas, videos y noticias; Los conceptos se definen claramente y con ejemplos detallados pensando en el lector que quizá́ no tenga conocimiento de lingüística; [y] Aborda ideas erróneas que existen sobre las variedades de español y sobre las comunidades latinas, asegurándose de que el lector emerja con un entendimiento claro de cómo varían lingüística y socioculturalmente las comunidades latinas en los Estados Unidos." -- Descripción del editor

Book Description
“It’s a wonderful, splendid book—a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future.” —Howard Fast, author of Spartacus and The Immigrants “[It] should be required reading.” —Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review Library Journal calls Howard Zinn’s iconic A People's History of the United States “a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those…whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories.” Packed with vivid details and telling quotations, Zinn’s award-winning classic continues to revolutionize the way American history is taught and remembered. Frequent appearances in popular media such as The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Good Will Hunting, and the History Channel documentary The People Speak testify to Zinn’s ability to bridge the generation gap with enduring insights into the birth, development, and destiny of the nation.

Book Description
The objective of this book is to teach native speakers of Spanish how to write and use correctly their own language. This text is designed for Spanish speakers who also know English. Current methodology in the teaching of Spanish to Spanish speakers is based on the belief that native speakers already know Spanish and that such students primarily need to polish their orthography. The book stresses traditional but advanced grammar as well as accentuation, orthography and the avoidance of anglicisms in vocabulary and sentence structure. It draws from the students' linguistic background in both languages in order to teach them Spanish.

But when the king remarries, he frees his son, and for the sake of reconciliation, makes Puerto Rico the fifty-first state and grants American passports to all Latin American citizens. This staggering show of benevolence rocks the global community, causing an unexpected power shift with far reaching implications."--P. [4] of cover.
