About This Novel
"The Mestizo Mind: The Ideological Dynamics of Colonization and Globalization" is the result of Serge Grudinsky's groundbreaking research on the colonization of Latin America in the 15th and 16th centuries. Colonization inevitably brings about a dramatic process of hybridization, which is often associated with unification and globalization. This book uses detailed historical materials to demonstrate the phenomenon of the integration of native colonial and European cultures, from the artistic images of churches to the books, songs and even handicrafts spread to the people, and the impact they had on the colonial people. This mixing of cultures resulted in interbreeding between natives and settlers, conversion of Indians to Catholicism and their participation in the colonial government, and the artistic visualization of figures such as Jesus and Perseus by American Indians. The fusion of these cultures gave birth to new cultures, new individuals, and a new phenomenon called globalization, as well as the mestizo mind-a common state of multicultural thinking that emerged 500 years later. This book provides us with answers to the causes of various phenomena and extreme changes covered by cultural integration, and answers one by one to questions that people often ignore - the ways, conditions, environment, methods and even speed of cultural integration.
