A region as rich in culture as Latin America has many factors that weave into the fabric of their identity. However, with prominent nationalism at the forefront of each nation and their many different cultures, how do the 26 parts that comprise the region identify with each another? Does Latin America work together, or does each country work independently to support their own interests? There are many different opinions.
“I believe much more in individualism and the fact that each country has its own approach to a variety of world issues.” –Hernán Ponce, Ponce Buenos Aires, Argentina
“When we refer to Latin America geographically, we refer to the proximity of the countries, but I don’t believe they think or act as a region.” -Miguel Simões, LOLA MullenLowe, Spain
“We have not been able to build a Latin American bloc capable of changing the world and the world’s perception of us.” -Thelma Castán, MullenLowe Interamérica República Dominicana
