“Culture in the Classroom” was conceived as a teaching aid guide
aimed at helping those in the educational front line to become
conversant with the concept of culture as defined by the UNESCO.
In a country like Paraguay, possessing the invaluable asset of
extensive bilingualism where the Guarani Indian language is
spoken by a majority of the population regardless of the speakers’
ethnic origin, finding value in an individual’s background is a way
to reaffirm self-steem and to assure persistence in schooling as a
threshold to success in life.
The task of helping local culture survive, first, and thrive, later, is
made all the more opportune by the onslaught of globalization and
its threat of condemning smaller societies mores and customs to
oblivion in the wake of mass media indoctrination. The discipline,
hence, has become a full fledged academic endeavor although
the bibliography is still scarce but growing.
The author seeks to make her contribution available to students
and scholars of American and European universities looking at
the field as a bona fide subject of academic endeavor, graduate
theses and dissertations, and scholarly articles. Heritage, language,
music, cuisine, dances and oral traditions appear in this useful
teacher’s guide opening up a world of wonder and magic, legends
and history.
