Description

Explores the question of how a culture is born. The author compares the historical itineraries of New World collectivities, which were driven by freedom and sovereignty, and finds differences as well as commonalities in their formation and evolution. He also considers myths and strategies devised by the elites to unite and mobilize populations.
