College instructors often comment that students entering advanced study of Spanish language and literature lack a basic knowledge of the geography, history and culture of the Hispanic world. Such knowledge is difficult to include in the crowded and highly structured introductory or intermediate courses. In third-year and upper division literature courses, the absence of such background becomes apparent. To cite just a few examples, how are students to grasp the meaning of a poem by García Lorca without knowing something about Spain and Andalucía, or how to understand Juan Rulfo's stories without knowledge of post-revolutionary Mexico? How to approach the work of Pablo Neruda or García Márquez without the basics of South American history and geography?

Instructors often attempt to add such material in what is typically non-standardized curriculum reflecting their own interest and training.

HISPANIDADES is intended to serve as a resource for instructors to provide this background while preserving flexibility to shape their own courses.

HISPANIDADES draws on portions of the video series EL ESPEJO ENTERRADO (written and narrated by Carlos Fuentes) as a dramatic visual platform for such study.

These video segments, selected for their connection with the topic, are placed on the DVDs which accompany these texts, HISPANIDADES: ESPAÑA LA PRIMERA HISPANIDAD and its companion, HISPANIDADES: LATINOAMERICA y LOS EE.UU.

Each chapter in these texts contains the following:

• Chronological Orientation

• Introduction to the topic

• Discussion questions

• Transcript of the video segments

• Vocabulary with exercises

• Review of selected grammar

• Literary selections based on chapter topic

• Exercises and explanatory passages intended to assist students in understanding the reading selections and literature in general.

• Web references to encourage students to do further research

• In a number of chapters, the authors added a short essay with additional information to illustrate the ongoing relevance of the topic to the contemporary world.

En Botswana nunca había habido una mujer detective... hasta el día en que Mma Ramotswe decide abrir su pequeña oficina al pie del monte Kgale, cerca del desierto de Kalahari. Le basta con unas sillas, dos mesas, un teléfono y una secretaria... además de unas tazas para invitar a los clientes a tomar un té. ¿Qué otra cosa se requiere para resolver misterios? Al fin y al cabo, ¿no se han dedicado siempre las mujeres a escuchar y a intentar solucionar los problemas de los demás frente a una taza de té?

Mma Ramotswe no es una irónica intelectual ni una aguerrida ex policía, sino una mujer alegre y rolliza, cargada de sentido común y con un firme deseo de ayudar al prójimo. En su opinión, muchas personas no saben distinguir el bien del mal, y hay que enseñarles la diferencia. Huérfana, superviviente de un matrimonio infernal y madre por sólo cinco días, esta Miss Marple africana sabe reconocer el dolor ajeno, y quiere contribuir a aliviarlo. Sus métodos son tal vez poco ortodoxos, pero también lo son sus casos, así como sus atribulados clientes.

Con sus acertadas descripciones y sus sensatos comentarios, la protagonista de esta novela nos introduce paso a paso en la realidad de un país lejano y desconocido, donde la teconología convive con las tradiciones mágicas, y donde resulta más fácil conocer las noticias de boca de las vecinas que leyendo la prensa..
