Summary: It can come as no surprise that the ethnic makeup of the American population is rapidly changing. 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.
