Abstract

In this article we intend to redefine what miscegenation represents as a global, all-embracing phenomenon in Latin America, due to the importance of its current historical consequences. We attempt to understand this crucial fact within the Latin American identity. Miscegenation is not regarded as a minor category, neither as a mere temporary sociocultural stage. This process of fusion, hybridization and gathering (referred to as “the mestizo”) involves us totally. Such course of action has been developing since the colonial period, as a result of independence wars, following the establishment of nation states, mainly concerning the conservative liberal governments of the 19th and 20th centuries. Currently, this is perceived in the globalization processes which we are going through, along with their social, cultural, economic, political, and even epistemic consequences.
