Heritage Hispanic-American Style is a rich, entertaining cultural compendium of facts that surveys the vast Hispanic culture from its birthplace in Spain to the lands of the new world where its language, religion, and customs have greatly influenced two continents.

Though in many parts of the United States fluent Spanish has become an advantage and even a necessity on one's resume, much of the Hispanic culture has been overlooked.  Heritage Hispanic-American Style, in its easy-to-read bilingual question and answer format, sheds light on this multi-faceted culture and its many contributions to Western civilization.

An estimated 400 million people officially speak Spanish in twenty countries, from Spain to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America.  Thirty seven million Hispanic Americans constitute the largest minority group in the United Sates. 

Each of the 1001 fact-filled questions is an invitation for further research and provides an enjoyable opportunity to enrich the reader's Spanish language skills.  Topics are fully indexed, with more than 1,650 entries.

"This compact book is a treasure trove of information on every aspect of the culture and history of Spain and Hispanic America and serves as a valuable resource for both the academic and the non-academic person.  The format of question and answer gives readers an opportunity to review their own knowledge before looking up the answers.  An added feature is the bilingual format enabling them to brush up on both English and Spanish.  Highly recommended!"  Professor Patricia Bentivegna, Ph.D, Saint Francis University
