Ethnic Studies: Ethnic Studies Storybooks

Ethnic Studies Storybooks

Students in ETHN/EDUC 210 “Ethnic Studies for Educators” complete a Storybook project where they learn to present Ethnic Studies theories, concepts, and examples in ways that are appropriate to young learners. This project was started at Cuesta College in Spring 2024 by Dr. Mario Espinoza-Kulick and is maintained by instructors Dr. Mario Espinoza-Kulick and Deborah Ikenador. Inspiration for this assignment is drawn from Dr. Lucha Arévalo’s Anti-Racist Children’s Literature Project at Río Hondo College.

All of the Storybooks listed below are openly licensed so that they can be shared and distributed freely. You can access the Storybooks by clicking on the thumbnails in the gallery, or by visiting the Ethnic Studies OneSeach Library database collections
