The Spanish term ''La Raza'' translates as "the Race", Spanish ''raza'' having the meaning of "race, ethnicity; breed, strain, lineage". The term expresses ethnic or racial pride, and is used with somewhat different shades of meaning in Spain and in Hispanic America. In Spain, ''raza'' denotes specifically Spanish or European Christian (Roman Catholic) heritage. The Francoist film ''Raza'' of 1944, which celebrates ideally Spanish national qualities, exemplifies this usage. In Latin America, ''la raza'' may emphasize Native American heritage, or it may express Latino (Hispanic) identity (''La Raza'' being short for ''La Raza Hispánica''). Día de la Raza marks the arrival of Christopher Columbus to America. The National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group in the United States of America, uses the term. "La Raza" is a popular song among Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. The Mexican-American rapper Kid Frost recorded and released this song in 1990. In his 1925 book, ''La Raza Cósmica'' (English: ''The Cosmic Race''), Mexican writer José Vasconcelos described ''la Raza Cosmica'' as the product of gradual racial mixing that was already underway in the Hispanic world. Vasconcelos believed that eventually all of the people within the former Spanish Empire would be completely mixed into a new race (see also The Race of the Future). ==See also== *Race and ethnicity in Latin America *Hispanidad *Casta *Raza Unida Party *Bidal Aguero *The Clash of Civilizations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Raza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
