Emphasizing interaction and communication, this book teaches intermediate Spanish speakers to express, interpret, and negotiate meaning in context with fluency and accuracy -- and within Hispanic cultures. It focuses on the development of basic skills--"listening, speaking, reading"--and provides all the sociolinguistic tools that allow readers to analyze, compare, and contrast the Hispanic world along with their own. Each chapter centers on a specific topic of high interest such as: the environment and ecological issues in the developing countries of Latin America; the Hispanic presence in the U.S; the question of identity; Mexican muralists and Frida Kahlo; new technological advances; Latin American women; the entertainment world; and more. For Spanish speakers who want to increase both their proficiency of the language, and their knowledge, respect, and love of the culture.
