Maison d'édition: Good Press
Synopsis
In "Our Little Cuban Cousin," Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade offers a captivating glimpse into the life of a young Cuban boy named Arturo, presenting a rich tapestry of cultural and social practices in early 20th-century Cuba. Written in a lively narrative style that seamlessly blends storytelling with educational elements, the book serves as both an adventure and a tool for cultural understanding. Wade's work is situated within the genre of children'Äôs literature that aims to broaden young readers' perspectives on diverse cultures, making it an essential read during a time marked by increasing American interest in Latin America. Wade, an accomplished author and educator, was passionate about fostering a sense of global awareness among children. Her extensive background in teaching, along with her intricate knowledge of various cultures, inspired her to craft narratives that resonate with young audiences. "Our Little Cuban Cousin" reflects Wade's belief in the importance of empathy and cultural appreciation, as it serves as a counter-narrative to the often one-dimensional portrayals of foreign societies prevalent in her time. I highly recommend "Our Little Cuban Cousin" to readers seeking an engaging and educational exploration of Cuban culture through the eyes of a child. This narrative not only entertains but also invites reflection on cultural identity and kinship in a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected.
