By discussing in particular the concepts of mimicry and transculturation, this piece exemplifies avenues for nuancing the notion of cultural contact, for rethinking the overused reliance on medieval Iberia’s “three cultures,” and it redirects attention to the fields of Latin American and colonial studies as sources of crucial theoretical debates.

I note that many postmodern and multicultural approaches deny there are universal human values or that individuals can rise above their cultural traditions, either of which renders hopeless any attempt to meet this crisis through global education. Instead, I insist that there are a)universal values and b)identifiable stages of individual conscious development, the higher of which allows for a planetary (i.e., transcultural and transnational) perspective. It is my contention that the above makes decolonized global education (as espoused by groups such as the WCCI) desirable and necessary.
