Spanish Voices released on DVD!

Spanish speakers drawn to the southeastern United States over the past couple of decades have had a notable impact on the identity of many urban and rural communities. Spanish Voices reveals some of the social and personal issues that are part of language contact situations worldwide- and many that are unique to the Southeast. Students and teachers, musicians and dancers, recent immigrants and long-term residents share their experiences regarding the difficulty in maintaining a home language, the challenge in learning a new language, and the varieties of both Spanish and English that have become part of their Southern experience.

Spanish Voices has been broadcast on South Carolina's ETV as well as the CRC Education Channel 18 in Raleigh.

The Spanish Voices DVD includes 5 extras; Spanglish, Music and Dance, Hispanic American Identity, Maintaining Spanish, and Quinceañera. Total DVD media: 55 minutes. Produced & Directed by Danica Cullinan, Executive Producer Walt Wolfram. The DVD may be purchased online at http://talkingnc.com or by phone at 919-515-4151 for $20.
