Product Description
In uniting theory on and practice in the use of Spanish for persons whose home language is Spanish, the editors demonstrate the role played by home languages in cognitive and social development. This book should suprise traditional instructors, and may inspire new teachers, and perhaps bring students to recognize that they can use their linguistic and cultural resources to expand their knowledge of Spanish. The clearly presented approaches covered include linguistics, anthropological, sociological, foreign language and pedagogical and, importantly, the book brings together a number of pedagogical issues from the use of computers to the use of co-operative approaches to maximise the effective teaching and learning of Spanish by Spanish speaking persons.; This book is designed to overcome the difficulties faced by Spanish students and teachers when coping with bilingualism, code-switching, the use of dialects, language learning in art classes, computing and writing composition, the organization of the curriculum and initial training of teachers who work with native speakers of Spanish. ...

Product Description
The first book to present the history of Wisconsin's Native peoples from their own perspective.

From origin stories to contemporary struggles over treaty rights and sovereignty issues, Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal explores Wisconsin's rich Native tradition. Each chapter is a compact tribal history of one of the state's Indian nations-Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Oneida, Menominee, Mohican and Brothertown, and Ho-Chunk-and the book relies on the historical perspectives of Native people. Author Patty Loew focuses on oral tradition-stories, songs, the recorded words of Indian treaty negotiators, and interviews-as well as other untapped Native sources, such as tribal newspapers, to present a distinctly different view of history.

Elders and tribal historians from each of the twelve Native communities represented in the book participated in the book's development-making suggestions, recommending sources, and offering criticism. Indian Nations of Wisconsin is illustrated with more than seventy photographs. ... Read more

Wonderful
This is used as a textbook for one of my American Indian Studies courses this semester and I love it. The author wrote it as a book of history so it doesn't feel or read like a boring textbook. Loew relies on oral history and many Native texts to really get the Indian history as accurate as possible, she tried hard to leave out the white American influences and assumptions. This should be a must for anyone interested in Native history.

Refreshing look at Native American history!
Patty Loew takes a novel approach in this book and uses Native American sources to tell Native American history!Oral history, treaty minutes, recorded speeches by Native American leaders, and other Native sources are used over the traditional "white" sources that make up the majority of Native American history.The book reads extremely well and is intensely interesting.Each chapter tells the story of a Wisconsin Indian nation from the point of view of that nation.This is an enjoyable book to read for anyone interested in Native American history.Moreover, it is an invaluable addition to scholarship and a (hopefully) trend-setting example of using Native sources to tell Native history. ...
