摘要：Latin American integration, and particularly Caribbean integration is an urgent matter in both practice and theory, one that concerns not only economists, but jurist and historians. It requires a debate around themes of culture, identity and diversity. In this essay, the idea that culture identity is "constructed," and is an ideological, historical concrete phenomenon, is discussed. There is no fixed cultural identity.However, there are characteristics common to the Caribbean, for example the phenomenon of "choteo" (making fun off, teasing) - a capacity related to "not taking things too seriously" or "to take things in a relaxed manner", which one of the Caribbean population characteristics. Perhaps it is a way to protect oneself in the face of the dangers of cultural homogenization. This analyze is based on theCuban case.
