Description: "Engaging volume contends that current Mexican conceptions of culture are narcissistic and regressive. Claims that State policies, mass media, neoliberalism, and free trade have created a consumer society and debilitated national identity. Advocates alternative conception of culture as general frame within which social, economic, and political activity take place, linking intellectual productivity and collective consciousness with resolution of structural conflicts. Suggests formulation of social liberalism policy which would support popular participation in creation of culture"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
