Reviews
This magnificent collection, covering the main themes of sociological inquiry, offers a unique window on the Latin American sociological tradition. An exemplary and exciting contribution to the globalizing social sciences. -- Johan Heilbron - European Center of Sociology and Political Science (CESSP)
This is a superb volume of key texts that enables sociologists worldwide to learn about Latin American Sociology and from it. These texts, along with the critical biography of Latin American Sociology founders, provide a testimony on the impact of such scholarship not only on its continent but beyond. Unlike other books that simply curse eurocentrism, it promotes other universal concepts and thoughts coming from Latin America. Sage and the International Sociological Association are proud to inaugurate their series "Key Texts of World Sociology" by such volume. Other regions will be very inspired by such experience. -- Sari Hanafi - Professor of Sociology, American University of Beirut, and President of the International Sociological Association
