  • ""Mestizaje - the process of cultural, ethnic, and racial mixing of Spanish and indigenous peoples - has been central to the creation of modern national identity in Bolivia and much of Latin America. Though it originally carried negative connotations, by the mid-twentieth century it had come to symbolize a national unity that transcended racial divides." "In Mestizaje Upside-Down, Javier Sanjines C. contends that the concept is not a true merging of equals, but representative of a fundamentally Western perspective that excludes indigenous ways of viewing the world. In this sophisticated study, he reveals how modernity in Bolivia has depended on a perception, forged during the colonial era, that local cultures need to be uplifted."--BOOK JACKET."
