Introduction
To be clear, this webbook is about the history of Hispanics in what is now the U.S. mainland, an effort to fill some huge gaps in American history books and classrooms. So why a webbook? Because more people are reading the Internet than paper books nowadays, because short, stand-alone chapters can be promoted individually through social media, and because my students constantly tell me, "Professor, your pictures make the reading so interesting." It's true. Without my photos, this would just be a great book! (lol) But if I tried to publish a paper book with the writing and photography in this website, it would have to be one of those fancy, coffee table books that my students couldn't afford. So I have concluded that this webbook is the best solution. And so what if I don't make money from publishing a paperback or hardcover textbook? If I can help Americans reconnect with their Hispanic roots, I'm rich! |
