Mestizo, meaning "mixture," represents a blend of indigenous, African, and Spanish genes and cultures in Latin America. This mixture is not a "melting pot" experience; rather, the influences of the different cultures remain identifiable but influence each other in dynamic ways. In this volume, Burke offers a mestizo theory of democracy and traces its implications for public policy.Rio Grande/Rio Bravo ;no. 8.MulticulturalismUnited StatesDemocracyUnited StatesAmericanizationPolitical cultureUnited StatesUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationMulticulturalismDemocracyAmericanization.Political culture305.8/00973/090511Burke John Francis1957-1759945MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817930303321Mestizo democracy4198637UNINA
