| | Latin America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The majority of Latin Americans are of mixed descent, referred to as mestizos, and are predominant in countries such as Mexico and Colombia. | | | From Africa, the Latin American countries received the sense of rhythm and some of their dances such as the dances of the Caribbean, the bomba, the plena, the candombe and many others. | | | Another feature of the Latin American music is its original blending of the variety of styles that arrived to The Americas and that became its influences, from the early Spanish and European Baroque to the different beats of the African rythms. |

| | I strongly disagree with this assertion however, because I believe that the influences on the Latin American revolutions were much closer to home. | | | It can also be said that there is no way the Latin American revolutions would have been possible, or maybe even they wouldn’t have needed to occur, if prior revolutions hadn’t exerted their influence over the situation. | | | They desired a government much like that of the Americans before them, one where they have the primary say, and one that would allow a free market economy flourish. |

| | In many Latin American societies it is claimed that the phenomenon does not exist. | | | Racial discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance are practised, to varying degrees and in varying forms, in Latin American and Caribbean societies. | | | The resurgence of doctrines and political movements that incite racial hatred and xenophobia, particularly in industrialized countries, is a dangerous trend that may lead to the emergence or development of similar ideas or movements in Latin American and Caribbean societies. |

| | Latin American History |
| | By the end of the colonial period people of mixed blood, called mestizos (people of mixed Native American and European ancestry) and mulattoes (people of mixed black and white ancestry), formed the majority in many Latin American colonies. | | | Latin American countries continued to depend on the export of raw materials for their revenue, rather than converting to industrial economies. | | | For the vast majority of Latin Americans, however, progress was limited, and for many rural dwellers, poverty grew worse. |
