1. Children's Books on Africa.

Author

Wisconsin Univ., Madison. African Studies Program., Zekiros, Astair, and Mensah, Kofi

Abstract

The document lists and critically annotates 155 children's books about Africa published from 1958-1978 as part of an evaluation project of the collection in the public library in Madison, Wisconsin. Books include fiction, picture books, history, folklore, travel accounts, biography, and geography. Annotations indicate type of book, possible uses, topics covered, reasons for retention or deletion, emphases, problems such as lack of information, kind and quality of illustrations, and important insights. Grade level is given for some of the books. Using 14 evaluation criteria (which are not listed), the books are arranged by author and appear in three sections: recommended for retention in the collection, recommended for deletion, and a supplement of both types covering books published in 1976-1978. Reasons for deletion include datedness, biases, large information gaps, stereotypes, and generalizations. (CK)

Abstract

The article summarizes the book "Africanos y afrodescendientes en la América hispánica septentrional" (Africans and Afro-descendants in Northern Hispanic America), coordinated by Rafael Castañeda García and Juan Carlos Ruiz Guadalajara, which examines the presence and participation of Africans and Afro-descendants in the northern region of Hispanic America. The book compiles monographic studies from different regions of Mexico that have been little explored in relation to this topic. The authors use various methodologies and historical sources to present the life and importance of enslaved and free people of African origin in different regional and temporal contexts. The book consists of 23 chapters divided into two volumes that address aspects such as demography, mestizaje (racial mixing), cultural imaginaries, coexistence and conflict, and debates and historiography related to Afro-descendants. Although the lack of focus on economic history and African women is highlighted, the book fulfills its objectives and offers an extensive bibliography for those interested in the topic.
