Social Sciences and Humanities Addressing Latin America's Challenges (Volume I)
Keywords:
Paradigms, power, knowledge, decolonial, intersectionality.Synopsis
This book provides a fundamental journey through the contemporary debates that define Latin America. Through an interdisciplinary lens, it examines how knowledge is constructed, circulates, and is challenged in the region. The collected essays explore the reception of global theories and their transformation in local contexts, unravel power structures in history teaching, and analyze the mechanisms of corruption affecting public management. With a firm critical commitment, the work problematizes hegemonic narratives, whether in science, historical memory, or medical ethics, proposing decolonial and intersectional frameworks. An essential reading to understand the complex intersections between knowledge, power, and ethics, and their role in building more just and democratic futures.
