The Human Face of Globalization: From Multicultural to Mestizaje

As an alternative to culture wars, Audinet (anthropology, U. of Metz and L'Institut Catholique de Paris, emeritus) proposes mestizaje, the mixing of races and cultures into a new force. He follows the history of imperial and colonial conquests and the growth of mestizaje through literature, music and sports. Audinet concludes that mestizaje can be a paradigm for the future of humanity. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
