"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.

Suggests formulation of social liberalism policy which would support popular participation in creation of culture"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
