- Una Perspectiva de Mexico: Its People, Places and History. Bianchi, Gary Bianchi, Maria Eugenia Matute Art Biculturalism Bilingual Education Cultural Background Cultural Education Cultural Pluralism Ethnic Relations Foreign Countries Instructional Materials Life Style Mexican Americans Mexicans Reference Materials Religion Social History Visual Aids Evolving from a general commitment to the goals of cultural pluralism and bicultural education, this portfolio of 24 full color and halftone photographs aims to reinforce those curricular objectives which emphasize a respect for the value and individuality of different cultures and groups, affirm the right of an individual to maintain a bicultural identity, and encourage a respect for and cultivation of bilingualism and multiculturalism. Depicting both the timeless and modern aspects of Mexico, the series' conceptual framework deals with the complexities of the cultural and historical interactions of the Indian, Spaniard, and Mestizo in Mexico. Printed on heavy paper stock (11" x 14") and suitable for display purposes, each print includes a text in English and Spanish. Related historical themes and concepts and topics for discussion are suggested. Topics are: the Aztec Calendar; a Chamula weaver; selling gum and newspapers; a colonial kitchen; faces of Mexico; a family praying; the Fiesta of San Pedro; fishermen of Lake Patzcuaro; a flower vendor; a Hildago mural by Jose Clemente Orozco; the Liberty Market; life in a small town; Mexico City's cathedral; modern Mexico City; old ladies at market; the Plaza of Three Cultures; responsibilities; a Diego Rivera mural; the ancient cities of Tenochtitlan, Teotihuacan, Tepotzotlan, and Tlaloc; the University of Mexico library; and a Zinacanteco family.
