With culturally thematic chapters and a traditionally organized grammar sequence, this is a solid and complete introductory course.

Although chapter changes in the new edition include an overall shortening, a trimming of grammar detail, and adding more visually-based activities, the basic methodology remains unchanged.

El presente volumen ofrece una revisión general de la situación del español como lengua en contacto con otras lenguas en diversos países del mundo hispano.

Unique in coverage, this comprehensive one-volume anthology of Latin American literatures—from pre-Colombian times to the present—covers not only the authors accepted within the literary canon, but innovative contemporary voices that are now breaking the ethnocentric mold. It features detailed historical introductions to each period and writer, selections drawn from literary, historical, and socio-political contexts, and instructional aids that make the language accessible and encourage critical thinking. For anyone interested in Spanish literature.
