Journey to the People

Intro.) Ann Nolan Clark (Annis Duff

4.9/5 (25160 ratings)

Description:Ann Nolan Clark is well known to thousands of readers for her many outstanding books for children, including the Newbery Award winner Secret of the Andes. But perhaps many who are familiar with her writing have not fully realized her deep, lifelong involvement in the teaching of Indian children and other minority groups. In these ten informal essays, she recalls some of the extraordinarily rich and varied experiences of those years. "My concern is for Indian children," Mrs. Clark writes, "because racial differences are greater than those of nationalities." After summarizing the four basic Indian concepts that she believes differ greatly from those of American white culture, she moves onto a more personal level, telling us some of the eye-opening and memorable events in her own life as a teacher among the Zuni, Navajo, Pueblo, and other tribes of the Southwest, the Dakota Sioux, and the Indians of Guatemala and Peru. Here is the fascinating story of the Tesuque Printers, five third-grade Tewa children, whose struggle to discover what a book is led Mrs. Clark to write her own first book for children, In My Mother's House. And here, too, are the stories behind the creation of Santiago and Secret of the Andes. There is also a charming reminiscence of early Las Vegas, New Mexico, where the author spent her childhood. But most of all, this book is an informative, often inspiring and often humorous account of one remarkable human being's efforts to reach out to children of another culture, and to understand.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
