Looking at the fifteenth-century colonization of Latin America, Gruzinski documents the mélange that resulted: colonized mating with colonizers; Indians joining the Catholic Church and colonial government; and Amerindian visualizations of Jesus and Perseus. These physical and cultural encounters created a new culture, a new individual, and a phenomenon we now call globalization. Revealing globalization's early origins, Gruzinski then fast forwards to the contemporary mélange seen in the films of Peter Greenaway and Wong Kar-Wai to argue that over 500 years of intermingling has produced the mestizo mind, a state of mixed thinking that we all possess.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA masterful alchemy of history, anthropology, philosophy and visual analysis, \u003cem\u003eThe Mestizo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eMind\u003c\/em\u003e definitively conceptualizes the clash of civilizations in the style of Homi Bhabha, Gayatri Spivak and Anne McClintock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261715108184,"sku":"9780415928786","price":173.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415928786.jpg?v=1779171348","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/mestizo-mind","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
