Perspectives on East and Southeast Asian Folktales is a
multidisciplinary examination of folktales that are unfamiliar to
Western audiences. Examining folktales from countries like Vietnam,
Laos, Cambodia, Burma, China, Japan, and Korea, the contributors
consider various aspects, including identity issues, relationship
to idioms and narrative structure, morals, collectivism, violence,
scatological references, language socialization, representation of
Buddhist values, and emotional competence. . Highlighting
differences and similarities between East and Southeast Asian and
Western folktales, this volume promotes memorable understanding of
East and Southeast Asian cultures and their oral traditions.
This book is divided into three main topical sections: (1)
Parent-child construction of narrative, which focuses on aspects of
the social interaction that facilitate oral narrative development
in Spanish-speaking children; (2) Developing independent narration
by Spanish-speaking children; and (3) Narrative links between
Latino children s oral narration and their emergent literacy and
other school achievements. Chapters address narration to and by
Latino children aged six months to eleven years old and in low,
middle, and upper socioeconomic groups. Nationalities of speakers
include the following: Costa Rican, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Mexican,
Peruvian, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, and Spanish-English bilingual
children who are citizens or residents of the United States.
Narratives studied include those in conversations, personal and
fictional stories, and those prompted by wordless picture books or
videos. Thus, the current project includes diverse nationalities,
socioeconomic backgrounds, and genres of narrative.
