Political scientists in the Western democracies have long been alert to the semantic and general ideological significance of such terms as "the proletariat," "the Party," or "people's democracy." It is a common enough critical exercise to show how Marxist theory and Communist-bloc socioeconomic realities show interesting disparities. Similarly, social scientists interested in the process of class and culture transformation going on in Latin American countries with heavy Indian populations must concern themselves with the existence of powerful, emotionally charged image-compartments of the Indian and the Mestizo. Joined to these two symbolic terms (as contrasting nouns) is the verb mestizar, to mix. Mestizaje, or mixing, is a term very commonly used to denote the acculturation and final absorption of the Indian populations into the mainstream of Peruvian life.
