About the book

Beyond the ideal of a homogenised citizenship produced by the mixing of races - mestizaje - there are complex social dynamics based on difference and indifference, stigmatisation and fascination, homogenisation and othering. The contributors to this volume believe that mestizaje is more than a myth' and multiculturalism a 'challenge' to it. The essays in this book investigate the different processes of racialisation, ethnicisation and negotiation of the belongings that characterize mestizaje as multiculturalism.'
