The Human Face of Globalization

More about the book

Exploring the history and evolution of mestizaje, Jacques Audinet presents a compelling alternative to culture wars and simplistic multiculturalism. He examines the impact of imperial and colonial conquests on racial and cultural mixing, highlighting how literature, music, and sports have fostered this blending. Audinet advocates for embracing the fluidity of identities rather than clinging to the notion of "pure" races, emphasizing mestizaje's potential to mitigate racial and cultural conflicts while promoting equality in a democratic society.
