Description
UNDERDEVELOPMENT is a disease, a collective brain disorder marked by political and social atrophy. One of its most insidious behaviors is mimicry, according to Edmundo Desnoes (Punto de vista 103): the failure to exercise one's analytical or critical abilities that might uniquely stamp one's life or advance the progress of society. To casually usurp the powers of the oppressor or submit to prevailing customs, styles and expectations is to consent to moral lethargy and corrode our singular humanity. In the fever of the Cuban revolution, Desnoes wrote in 1967: We must decolonialize and assert our standing on the world. Expose the danger of mimicry, delve into our social conduct in all its aspects, understand our social, racial and sexual prejudices, consider the individual while the political leaders are preoccupied with the whole of society, live to explore and not to sloganeer (Punto de vista 104).
