9781604865202: Basic Skills Caucasian Americans

Synopsis

The world of Caucasian Americans comes alive through humorous history lessons, puzzles and word games for all ages. This revised edition provides young readers with accurate accounts of the lives of the Caucasian Americans, who, long ago, roamed the USA. Even in times past, Caucasians were not all the same. Not all of them lived in gated communities or drove SUVs. They were not all techie geeks or power-hungry bankers. It is hoped that the youngsters who read these pages will realise the role that Caucasian Americans played in making the world what it is today.

À propos de l'auteur

Beverly Hope Slapin, who delighted many young readers with Growing Up Caucasian, I Live in a Gated Community and What's Up, Little White Girl?, has always been fascinated with and delighted by white people. A teacher whose love of white culture led her to intensive Caucasian American studies, which she eagerly shares with her young students, Slapin writes: "What would America have been without the Caucasian Americans themselves, with their magnificent shopping malls, their colorful leisure suits, their factories, landfills, and parking lots, their reality shows, their iPods and their history?" Slapin, a winner of the coveted Ishibashi Award, previously collaborated with famed illustrator Annie Esposito on What's Up, Little White Girl?, which Bookmark described as "beautifully cadenced, sensitive prose.... A fine choice for storytelling to groups or for reading individually, with time to savor the book's strong, quiet appeal."
