About this book
"In Mestizo Nations, Juan De Castro explores the construction of nationality in Latin American and Chicano literature and thought during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Focusing on the discourse of mestizaje - which proposes the creation of a homogeneous culture out of American Indian, black, and Iberian elements - he examines a selection of texts that represenet the entire history and regional landscape of Latin American culture in its Western, indigenous, and neo-African traditions from Independence to the present. Through them, he delineates some of the ambiguities and contradictions that have beset this discourse."--BOOK JACKET.
