The highly individual philosophy of Vasconcelos, glorifying the creation of the mestizo race/culture in the 1920s at a time when many were violenty opposed to racial mixture. Vasconcelos as minister of education in the Mexican post-revolutionary government and later an unsuccessful candidate for president. His ideas have influenced later
Mexican or Mexican-American writers.
Urges Latin America to take the lead in the development of the Cosmic Race- "as it seems moe advanced than other cultural areas in the process of racial mixture and acceptance of all races", p x The essay has been the source of controversy.
