What factors contributed to racial mixing in Latin America, and where are the areas of strongest Amerindian survival?

What will be an ideal response?


The main factor contributing to racial mixing was the increased presence of many diverse peoples resultant from immigration; another important factor was a relatively low level of discrimination and prejudice that would have hindered cultural mixing. The areas with the most Amerindians are in Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia; indigenous survival is also marked in more isolated areas, such as eastern Panama, the Miskito Coast of Honduras, and the roadless sections of western Amazonia.
