Overview

Taking a student-centered approach to learning, CULTURAS DE ESPAÑA, 2nd Edition truly engages students with its wealth of authentic texts and visual materials while encouraging them to think critically about the cultures of Spain. Developed for Spanish students at the fifth-semester level or higher, this insightful reader makes an excellent main text in a civilization, culture, or reading course. A departure from traditional texts, which present Spanish civilization as a neutral recounting of historical facts, events, and data, CULTURAS DE ESPAÑA, 2nd Edition emphasizes that history, culture, and civilization are concepts under constant construction. An intriguing conceptual focus brings to life the history and everyday experiences that shape national identity.
