Globalization in Latin America

Paper Summary:

The following paper discusses the way in which Cancilini and Marquez both merely opened up the ideas of modernization in the midst of dark culture of the Latinos to make them realize that it is not about urbanization or industrialization. According to the author modernism or modernization is dependent on the ability of a nation to become receptive to liberal ideas, weigh the consequences and learn to appreciate their roots to integrate it in their futures.

From the Paper:

"Cancilini summarizes modernization as "we have had an exuberant modernism with deficient modernization. We have already seen this position in the citations from Paz and Cabrujas. It also circulates in other essays and in historical and sociological studies. Given the fact that we were colonized by the most backward European nations, subjected to the Counter Reformation and other anti-modern movements, only with independence could be begin to bring our countries up to date. From then there have been waves of modernization." Unless Latinos realize that liberalism is not only essential for their modernization, they will not be receptive of modernism. The world may have advanced manifolds in liberalizing its nations but the Latinos are still struggling to accept their status. One of the main causes as outlined by Cancilni is the fact that despite their constitutional freedom, the nations were still experiencing the vagaries of hundred years of imprisonment by the Europeans."
