Losing Face

Our cover for this special issue on multiculturalism pokes some modest fun at Time magazine’s own special issue: “The New Face of America: How immigrants are shaping the world’s society.”

Time’s original new face, undecorated by us, was the product of a computer process called “morphing” which guesstimated the looks of a woman descended from “seven men and seven women of various ethnic and racial backgrounds.” She is “15 per cent Anglo-Saxon, 17.5 per cent Middle Eastern, 17.5 per cent African, 7.5 per cent Asian, 35 per cent Southern European, and 7.5 per cent Hispanic.”
