Discussion with a New Spanish Mestizo

Bag om Discussion with a New Spanish Mestizo

Jensen Cox converses with a mestizo who was alive in Montaigne's time precisely throughout the years. He was an interpreter as well as a businessman, the son of an Indian and a conquistador. To get to know his new domains, he spent time responding to the lengthy questionnaire issued by the Spanish crown. He improvises himself as a historian and a journalist in turn, clearly enjoying the process. He discusses the history of his nation, its customs and beliefs, as well as his concerns for the present, even if he does not subscribe to the then-common conviction that the end of the world is imminent. This outstanding source provides first-hand testimony on the development of Mexico's first colonial civilization in modern times as well as the emergence of Iberian globalization. What standards should you set when everything around you is changing and the past is fading into obscurity? That is the question Jensen Cox poses to this Renaissance guy in a true discussion. How can we adjust to a globalizing world?
