America's Two Cultures

The article focuses on the book "America Hispana: A Portrait and a Prospect," by Waldo Frank. This study takes in more than Mexico, takes in as well the whole of Central and South America. Developed from a lecture tour of the southern continent, Frank's ambitious project has been to portray and then prognosticate the cultures of this entire world. His approach is by way of a geographical mysticism, first in affirming credence in an original land-bridge between Spain and Central America, the lost Atlantis, in fact, and likewise between Asia and America, which mythical connections become for him the symbol of a final spiritual unity.
