Summary:
"In Latin America in Debate, Argentine sociologist Maristella Svampa provides a critical survey of Latin American social and political theory through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Svampa organizes Latin American thought around four central debates: the status of Indigenous peoples, dependency, development, and populism. The first part of the book offers a historical review tracing and contextualizing each of these conversations over the course of the twentieth century; the latter part examines each concept in the twenty-first century, demonstrating how intellectual, political, and climatological currents have redefined and reshaped debates in the past two decades. Svampa synthesizes and comments upon a vast range of scholarship, offering an introduction to a wide range of intellectuals from the region"-- Provided by publisher.
