Mart presents the image of Latin America as racially and culturally mixed

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)?

1. Are the different groups presented equally or is there a hierarchy (implicit or explicit)?
2. What cultural references does Mart draw on in his final image of cultural unification?
3. 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?
4. How well does Mart’s essay live up to the standard of his statement that “there are no races”?
