THE PEOPLES VOICE SERIES
Culture and History Grades 4-Adult

3 books on Latino history - written by scholars from within the cultures!

Written by authors who grew up in Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican cultures, these three books in the Peoples Voice series - Cuba: Culture and History, Dominican Republic: Culture and History, and Puerto Rico: Culture and History - tell the story of these countries with respect and dignity. Too often the proud histories of these countries have been misrepresented in - or even omitted from - many "standard" U. S. History courses; a glaring omission, given the number of people living in the United States who are of Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Dominican descent.

The Peoples Voice texts can be used as a supplement to any U. S. History or World Cultures course or as stand-alone texts.

Packaged together at a special price, the texts provide a clear view of what these Hispanic/Latino cultures have meant in the history of the United States and world history.

Each book in the Peoples Voice series has several keys features to help students learn and comprehend what they are reading. Each chapter ends with Content Questions, Critical Thinking Questions, Enrichment Exercises, and Writing Assignments.
