A long trip through Latin America
Invention, reproduction and founders of social sciences
Author Helgio Trindade.
«In the decades of the 1950s and, especially, between 1960 and 1970, Latin American social sciences acquired notable recognition at an international level, especially in the search for their own critical thinking and with a mixture of disciplines and theories. Hélgio Trindade's book reconstructed significant parts of the history and built an essential and inevitable platform to continue researching social sciences in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is written by someone who is part of this process, both for its academic production and for its performance in national and international academic organizations (CLACSO, AUGM, ANPOCS, IESALC/UNESCO, UNILA). Ou seja, for a first line protagonist. I have for me that at a moment in which - since the 1990s - Latin American critical thought has lost its vigor in previous decades, and Hélgio's book is a strong contribution to the necessary and urgent recovery of this tradition.”
