From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| This entry in the reliable, recently restyled True Book series takes a look at the Christianity-fueled Spanish side of New World colonization. Beginning with a pithy account that delves into the conquer-and-cash-in strategy of Spanish exploration, it then nicely outlines what missions are (essentially small villages), who built them (priests and soldiers), and why they were built (to convert the natives and control the land). With an evenhanded tone, Perritano also touches on important Spanish priests (both admirable and despicable), Native revolts, and various missions in what is now Mexico and the southwestern U.S. A centerpiece spread, titled “The Big Truth! Mission Life,” is skimpier than it could be but discusses everyday life in a mission and the roles of Native American and Spanish priests in the social order. The colorful, amply illustrated design makes for an accessible read, and a nice array of resources appears in the back matter. A good choice to counterbalance the British side of U.S. history units. Grades 3-5. |
