Globalization: Cultural identity, Latin Americanism and Integration.

Abstract

This brief essay aims to address the issue of globalization and integration from the cultural identity and its construction, taking up José Martí's Latin American perspective, to land the most specific challenges of the integrationist project in the face of globality. It has been considered useful to retake identity as a category of study, because one cannot speak of integration, without first finding or analyzing the cultural identity of a region, for this purpose the theory of cultural hybridization proposed by García Canclini has been taken as support. On the other hand, a more philosophical perspective is included to locate the reality of the Latin American from Dussel's thought.
