"Being-in-the-World-Hispanically": A World on the "Border" of Many Worlds
ENRIQUE DUSSEL

The present essay offers an interpretation of hispanos (Latin Americans and U.S. latinos) as historically, culturally, and geographically located "in-between" many worlds that combine to constitute an identity on the intercultural "border." To illustrate how hispanos have navigated and continue to navigate their complex history in order to create a polyphonic identity, the essay sketches five historical-cultural "worlds" that come together to form the hispanic "world."
