Isi artikel

This article argues that historians of literacy, including Carl Kaestle, Haroey Graff, Suzanne de Castell, and Allan Luke, have not taken into account America's Hispanic literacy legacy. Drawing examples from historical accounts, diaries, and Spanish civil law, the author illustrates the depth and breadth of Hispanic contributions to American literacy. The article sharply contrasts the (relatively recent) image of "literacy deficient" Hispanic Americans with the rich legacy of their forebearers, who brought a new world of literacy to early America.
