Comida y cultura en el mundo hispánico
By Ana M. Gómez-Bravo
Published by Equinox Publishing

This is the first Spanish textbook to use food as the vantage point from which to learn language and acquire cultural literacy. It presents a rich introduction to food and food practices across the Hispanic world. It serves advanced secondary-level/high school students and students in third- and fourth-year Spanish at the university level who are furthering their knowledge of Hispanic cultures.

Information is organized according to topics and key concepts, with historical and literary texts acting as enrichment and support for cultural concepts. Each chapter is comprised of a main reading on a key topic (for example, Aztec food practices) and followed by smaller sections on particular concepts or artifacts related to the main topic. There are sections on related language expressions, topics for discussion and suggested activities. Each chapter also contains illustrations in the form of color photographs. Suggestions for video, audio and web links are listed for each chapter.
