Abstract

This assistance report includes a reflection on the proposals of Otto Morales Benítez regarding the central axes of discussion in the text "Mestizaje e identidad en Indoamérica: ensayos", a text that was digitalized, edited and published by the Universidad Santo Tomás. In this reflection, the definitions of the three terms that will mark all the problems and proposals outlined in the book and in the authors exposed and compiled there are specified. It also addresses the relationship of the new continent with the world (understand the European context) in terms of culture, religion, economy, art and society in times of conquest, colonization and independence, and what is happening today, that is, how this relationship continues to develop in the same terms, but this time with the United States and the nations that impose the globalized models as the ideal to achieve to be considered good or true.
