Many Peoples, One Land
Author: Alethea K. Helbig
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313064997
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
Celebrating the wealth of quality multicultural literature recently published for children and young adults, this valuable resource examines the fiction, oral tradition, and poetry from four major ethnic groups in the United States. Each of these genres is considered in turn for the literature dealing with African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native-American Indians. Taking up where their earlier volume This Land is Our Land left off, Helbig and Perkins have teamed up once again to identify and expertly evaluate more than 500 multicultural books published from 1994 through 1999. Both considered authorities in the field of children's literature, the two of them personally selected, read, and evaluated all the books included here. Their insightful annotations help readers carefully consider both literary standards such as plot development, characterization, and style, as well as cultural values as they are represented in these cited works. Each entry also indicates the suggested age and grade level appropriateness of the work. With the proliferation and ever increasing popularity of multicultural literature for children and young adults, this sensitively written volume will serve as an invaluable collection development tool. Teachers, as well as librarians, will find the comprehensiveness and organization of this bibliography helpful as a guide in selecting appropriate materials for classroom use. Even students will find this book easy to use, with its five indexes identifying works by title, writer, illustrator, grade level, and subject. Public libraries and school media centers will find much use for Many Peoples, One Land.

Dear Sound of Footstep
Author: Ashley Butler
Publisher: Sarabande Books
ISBN: 1936747448
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
“Explores the poetry in dynamic facts, and accumulates stories where life and life’s enterprises meet . . . A lovely debut” (Thalia Field, author of Experimental Animals). In her daring essay collection, author Ashley Butler engages the reader in an exploration of her mother’s death and an estranged paternal relationship. The candid narrative evolves into a stunning, abstract deconstruction of time and space, piloting the reader precariously close to the unanswered question, “Why are we here?” Among the subjects she touches on: the fastest man on earth, wind farms and tunnels, and the anechoic (without echo) chamber at Harvard University. We hear about some of history’s oddest seekers of spiritual and scientific knowledge: Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the father of cosmonautics; Yves Klein, the “artist of space;” Russian futurist Nikolai Federov; and Harry Houdini, hanging headfirst over a crowd in Times Square. Butler’s collection has a true magic of its own, at times both brutal and gorgeous, but always coming back to an empathy of spirit and intelligence far beyond Butler’s years. “Writing about cancer is a difficult task, given its ubiquitous—and therefore well-known and well-documented—horror. But in Dear Sound of Footstep, a sequence of essays simultaneously about and not about the death of her mother from cancer, Ashley Butler manages to generate a surprisingly new perspective on this familiar story.” —Black Warrior Review “Ashley Butler has made of her staggering and cruel bewilderment—her deep and voracious intelligence—an eloquent and moving testament to the powers of art and love.” —John D’Agata, author of The Lifespan of a Fact
