Within mixed Latino contexts, the need to preserve cultural distinctiveness often conflicts with growing pressures to present a united front as Hispanic. Although no single cultural symbol, beyond the Spanish language and a generic sense of hispanidad, seems to unite the nation's Hispanics, one can document localized attempts to create at least temporary panethnic solidarity through cultural performance.
