Puerto Rican school literature as an ideological text. - 227 p.

Chairperson: Jesse Goodman.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 1997.

Research has confirmed that literature is not free from ideological and political power, hence, it reflects class, gender and racial concerns that could marginalize and/or liberate students when used as textbooks in schools. The main goal of this study, thus, was to determine the way in which the literature texts included in the Spanish Curriculum of Junior High schools in Puerto Rico are governed by a particular perspective of the world; what Williams (1977) calls selective tradition. In other words, this study explored what values, traditions and/or ideologies these texts communicate. Particularly, it addressed images of class, gender and race that are reproduced as a common culture to all Puerto Ricans, and the degree in which these images could contribute to their marginalization and/or liberation.

520 $a Research has confirmed that literature is not free from ideological and political power, hence, it reflects class, gender and racial concerns that could marginalize and/or liberate students when used as textbooks in schools. The main goal of this study, thus, was to determine the way in which the literature texts included in the Spanish Curriculum of Junior High schools in Puerto Rico are governed by a particular perspective of the world; what Williams (1977) calls selective tradition. In other words, this study explored what values, traditions and/or ideologies these texts communicate. Particularly, it addressed images of class, gender and race that are reproduced as a common culture to all Puerto Ricans, and the degree in which these images could contribute to their marginalization and/or liberation.
520 $a The analysis revealed that the interests of the "landlord class" are dominant in these texts, and that the texts promote three ideological orientations: (1) the glorification of the Spanish culture, (2) the stratification of Puerto Rican society, and (3) the legitimation of patriarchy. This study also determined that these texts reproduced stereotyped images which devalue the Native and African cultures and races; images that maintain the division of labor and class; and moreover, these texts reproduced images that promote the subordination of women and violence against them. Correspondingly, the study suggests that this kind of curriculum marginalizes students and obstruct their possibilities of academic and personal success. Particularly, it suggests that a new Spanish curriculum must be fashioned, that is, a curriculum with a democratic vision of society, which respects all individuals' personal characteristics and their moral and ethical contributions, regardless of race, gender, socio-economic status, educational label and/or literacy differences. The hope is that we may live richer/fuller lives: more meaningful, purposeful and significant to ourselves and to each other.
