Nativism is for the New World and opposed to the Old. The prime archetype of the Old World is Europe. Others may see Old World within another geographic perspective -and in defiance of those that hyphenate.
Affirm your nativist creed by stating what the contrast of Old World and New World mean to you: in your americentric perspective.

ReplyDeleteThe Old world to me is Europe, but mainly England. However, I guess it "should" be Africa since I'm black. But honestly, I don't identify with this new age African that i see so much of. In all honesty, I have more in common with my "Southern Black Culture" than anything else. For me, the new world is post slavery.
ReplyDeleteIn my mind, my history begins with slaves... but i acknowledge that before that was Africa.
Thankyou for participating. Perhaps others will comment as well?
