Förlagets beskrivning
It can come as no surprise that the ethnic makeup of the American
population is rapidly changing. In this volume, John Francis Burke offers a
mestizo theory of democracy and traces its implications for public policy.
Mestizo, meaning "mixture," is a term from the Mexican socio-political
experience that represents a blend of indigenous, African, and Spanish genes
and cultures in Latin America in which the influences of these cultures remain
identifiable but interact with each other in dynamic ways. Burke analyzes
democratic theory and multiculturalism to develop a model for effectively
dealing with cultural diversity. He applies this model to official language(s),
voting, employment, housing, and free trade, concluding that in the United
States we are becoming mestizo whether we like it or not. The ethnic makeup of the American population is rapidly changing. In this
volume, John Francis Burke offers a mestizo theory of democracy and traces its
implications for public policy. Burke analyzes democratic theory and
multiculturalism to develop a model for effectively dealing with cultural
diversity.
