Download or read book Our Stories, Our Cultural Voices written by Leyla Feize and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of 21 folklore stories in two languages, English and Spanish. These stories were told by older adults in the Rio Grande Valley, which is a place located at the U.S. and Mexico border with a unique borderland culture. There is a distribution of Mexican and American customs and beliefs blended with colonial culture. The original project was part of a course which focused on teaching cultural competency to social work students through storytelling. The goal of this collection is to connect the older Mexican-American adults with the younger generation and empower youth who have been under ongoing pressure, strain and societal expectations to acculturate and assimilate, to discover their roots and personal histories which shape them. It is an invitation to Mexican-American youth to embrace their culture and integrate their own reality of culture while appreciating the mainstream culture. The stories are presented with relevant and meaningful drawings and discussion questions. This book is a collaborative work of the School of Social Work and the School of Art at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV).

Download or read book Give the Pig a Chance & Other Stories written by David Rice and published by Bilingual Review Press (AZ). This book was released on 1996 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the title story, two cousins fight over the death of a potbelled pig but come to a sincere reconciliation in the end. In "Tina La Tinaca," a woman grieving over the death of her son grows so obese that when she dies, an emergency crew must widen the doorway of her home so that her body can be removed. Culture and place figure prominently in Rice's work; most of the stories are set in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas and explore issues surrounding contemporary Mexican American life near the border. These stories ring with the author's distinctive voice and will certainly establish him as one of the most important young Chicano writers today."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
