This comprehensive look at contemporary life in the small Latin American nation allows
high school students and general readers to explore the many facets of Honduran life
and culture. More and more Hondurans and scholars today are becoming aware of the
diversity in the nation, and are realizing that rather than a single, homogeneous
culture, Honduras is made up of many different cultures. Gold incorporates this contemporary
cultural consciousness in her treatment of Honduras's regional and linguistic diversity
as well as in her descriptions of Honduras's indigenous communities. Key elements
of the work include a look at national identity and cultural diversity, as well as
an in-depth study of indigenous Honduras. Other chapters examine religion, as well
as daily routines, cuisine, dress, media, sports, festivals, literature and oral storytelling,
traditional crafts, visual arts, and music and dance. Ideal for high school students
studying world culture, Latin American studies, and anthropology, as well as for general
readers interested in the subject, Culture and Customs of Honduras is an essential
addition for library shelves--From publisher description
