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.
