On the Americas page there is an entire line up of children, 24 in all, and only two caucasian kids in the whole line-up, which is a little odd. 6-7 show sample kids from several countries, some with typical appearances and names for their country like Yannis from Greece, Guo Shuang from China etc, but the US shows five children: two which appear hispanic (Nicole and Carlos), one eskimo, one unusual-looking chunky caucasian girl and one African American male with a seriously outdated hairdo and parachute pants. The example children from the United States reveals this. But my chief complaint is that the buyer understand as I did not- this is not an atlas-accurate depiction of children by percent population in each country it is actually more a compilation of minority cultures. Many of the pictures are in fact outdated now. Something I did not note before purchase was the publishing date of 1995. |a Exported from Connexion by CMU and loaded with m2btab.b in 2019.I bought this book recently to supplement my primary schooler's global cultures education.
