Learning Goal: I’m working on a english multi-part question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
- Please look closely at the passages in which Mart presents the image of Latin America as racially and culturally mixed (see esp. 749-751). What are the different groups that comprise the mixture in “our mixed America” (750)?
- Are the different groups presented equally or is there a hierarchy (implicit or explicit)?
- What cultural references does Mart draw on in his final image of cultural unification?
- Discuss Mart’s claim that “There can be no racial hate because there are no races [No hay odio de razas porque no hay razas]” (752): is this liberating? A case of denial?
- How well does Mart’s essay live up to the standard of his statement that “there are no races”?
