¡Feliz Cumpleaños, José Vasconcelos!
AKA José María Albino Vasconcelos Calderón.
Born February 28, 1882. Died June 30, 1959.
Author of the 1925 essay The Cosmic Race aka La Raza Cósmica, an essay which, among other things, helped popularized the use of La Raza as shorthand for the mixed race folk of Latin America. Ironically, it is often considered today to be as politically incorrect as the Eurocentric philosophies it had once sought to replace.
