The Hispanic Way: Aspects of Behavior, Attitudes, and Customs of the Spanish-Speaking World Reviews


  • Alice De Dominicis

    I'm not sure why it's titled the way it is, but it should probably be ... of Spain" not the Spanish- Speaking World since it's very limited in exploring behaviors, attitudes, and customs of other Spanish speaking countries. I was disappointed.

    As a Hispanic/Tejano, I wanted to check out this book to see much were familiar to me as well as checking out the similarities/differences between countries or regions. I found this book to be interesting but not enough to be satisfied.

    However, I was confused on how this book alphabetized on aspects of the Hispanic life. So, you get lessons in cultural norms, holidays, Spanish and others in random order. Perhaps it would have been better if there were separate categories in different aspects of the Hispanic life or in countries/regions.

    Overall, good book with some interesting tidbits of the Hispanic way of life.

    I have only skimmed through this book, so far. From what I have read, it seems to be quite a helpful guide to gaining a better understanding of general hispanic culture and customs.

    It would be helpful for you if you are not hispanic but have hispanic relatives, friends, or business relationships.

    The order was a little all over the place which was a little distracting but it had important information that I will share with my students.
