Download or read book Development in Theory and Practice written by Ronald H. Chilcote and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2003 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive reader brings together seminal articles on development in Latin America. Tracing the concepts and major debates surrounding the issue, the text focuses on development theory through three contrasting historical perspectives: imperialism, underdevelopment and dependency, and globalization. By offering a rich array of essays from Latin American Perspectives, the book allows students to sample all the important trends in the field. A new general introduction and conclusion, along with part introductions, contextualize each selection. One of the leading figures in development studies, Ronald Chilcote shows in this text why work on imperialism dating to the turn of the twentieth century informs the controversies on dependency and underdevelopment during the 1960s and 1970s as well as the globalization debates of the past decade. If students are to understand development in Latin America, they must not only be familiar with historical examples and recognize that various theoretical perspectives affect our interpretation of events, they must be willing to keep an open mind. Thus, rather than setting out established premises, this reader offers different points of view, raising provocative questions about Latin America that remain largely unanswered even today. Students will come away from this rewarding collection ready to pursue new understanding through critical inquiry and thinking.

Download or read book Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality written by José Carlos Mariátegui and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once again I repeat that I am not an impartial; objective critic. My judgments are nourished by my ideals, my sentiments, my passions. I have an avowed and resolute ambition: to assist in the creation of Peruvian socialism. I am far removed from the academic techniques of the university."—From the Author's Note Jose Carlos Mariátegui was one of the leading South American social philosophers of the early twentieth century. He identified the future of Peru with the welfare of the Indian at a time when similar ideas were beginning to develop in Middle America and the Andean region. Generations of Peruvian and other Latin American social thinkers have been profoundly influenced by his writings. Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality (Siete ensayos de interpretación de la realidad peruana), first published in 1928, is Mariátegui's major statement of his position and has gone into many editions, not only in Peru but also in other Latin American countries. The topics discussed in the essays—economic evolution, the problem of the Indian, the land problem, public education, the religious factor, regionalism and centralism, and the literary process—are in many respects as relevant today as when the book was written. Mariátegui's thinking was strongly tinged with Marxism. Because contemporary sociology, anthropology, and economics have been influenced by Marxism much more in Latin America than in North America, it is important that North Americans become more aware of Mariátegui's position and accord it its proper historical significance. Jorge Basadre, the distinguished Peruvian historian, in an introduction written especially for this translation, provides an account of Mariátegui's life and describes the political and intellectual climate in which these essays were written.

Download or read book The Other Mirror written by Miguel Angel Centeno and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If social science's "cultural turn" has taught us anything, it is that knowledge is constrained by the time and place in which it is produced. In response, scholars have begun to reassess social theory from the standpoints of groups and places outside of the European context upon which most grand theory is based. Here a distinguished group of scholars reevaluates widely accepted theories of state, property, race, and economics against Latin American experiences with a two-fold purpose. They seek to deepen our understanding of Latin America and the problems it faces. And, by testing social science paradigms against a broader variety of cases, they pursue a better and truly generalizable map of the social world. Bringing universal theory into dialogue with specific history, the contributors consider what forms Latin American variations of classical themes might take and which theories are most useful in describing Latin America. For example, the Argentinian experience reveals the limitations of neoclassical descriptions of economic development, but Charles Tilly's emphasis on the importance of war and collective action to statemaking holds up well when thoughtfully adapted to Latin American situations. Marxist structural analysis is problematic in a region where political divisions do not fully expresses class cleavages, but aspects of Karl Polanyi's socioeconomic theory cross borders with relative ease. This fresh theoretical discussion expands the scope of Latin American studies and social theory, bringing the two into an unprecedented conversation that will benefit both. Contributors are, in addition to the editors, Jeremy Adelman, Jorge I. Domínguez, Paul Gootenberg, Alan Knight, Robert M. Levine, Claudio Lomnitz, John Markoff, Verónica Montecinos, Steven C. Topik, and J. Samuel Valenzuela.

Download or read book Collected Works Volume 1 written by V. I. Lenin and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the most influential political and social forces of the twentieth century, modern communism rests firmly on philosophical, political, and economic underpinnings developed by Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, later known as Lenin. For anyone who seeks to understand the twentieth century, capitalism, the Russian Revolution, and the role of Communism in the tumultuous political and social movements that have shaped the modern world, the works of Lenin offer unparalleled insight and understanding. Taken together, they represent a balanced cross-section of his revolutionary theories of history, politics, and economics; his tactics for securing and retaining power; and his vision of a new social and economic order. This first volume contains four works ("New Economic Developments in Peasant Life," "On the So-Called Market Question," "What the 'Friends of the People' Are and How They Fight the Social- Democrats," "The Economic Content of Narodism and the Criticism of It in Mr. Struve's Book") written by Lenin in 1893-1894, at the outset of his revolutionary activity, during the first years of the struggle to establish a workers' revolutionary party in Russia.

This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: José Carlos Mariátegui, (1895-1930), fue un escritor Peruano y líder político de renombre mundial. Aunque sus origines son humildes, su carrera lo llevo a las más altura de la intelectualidad. Comenzando a trabajar a los 14 años de edad -como alcanza-rejones en un periódico- llegó a ser periodista de los principales diarios de Lima: La Prensa, El Tiempo, y La Razón. Autodidacta, pronto llego a convencerse que la doctrina marxista era la adecuada para sacar a su patria del marasmo social, económico, cultural, y espiritual que lo condenaba a una abyecta pobreza. Sus viajes por Europa, le confirmaron su fe en el marxismo. Cuando regreso al Perú, junto con el pensador y activista político Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre (fundador del partido APRA), ambos asumieron el liderazgo político de los años 1920s. Acerca de los Siete ensayos Estos ensayos calan profundo, dado el enfoque marxista muy poco asimilado -por entonces- en las letras de Sudamérica. Los Siete Ensayos tocan la urdimbre nerviosa del Perú, auscultando síntomas, analizando curas paliativas y muchas veces erróneas, para al fin dejar en claro que aunque las soluciones son inconclusas, por lo menos podrían dar un impulso a la mejoría del país. Los problemas que Mariátegui trata son: 1) Esquema de la evolución económica; 2) El problema del indio; 3) El problema de la tierra; 4) El proceso de la instrucción pública; 5) El factor religioso; 6) Regionalismo y centralismo; y 7) El proceso de la literatura.

Book excerpt: Jose Carlos Mariategui is one of Latin America's most profound but overlooked thinkers. A self-taught journalist, social scientist, and activist from Peru, he was the first to emphasize that those fighting for the revolutionary transformation of society must adapt classical Marxist theory to the particular conditions of Latin American. He also stressed that indigenous peoples must take an active, if not leading, role in any revolutionary struggle. Today Latin America is the scene of great social upheaval. More progressive governments are in power than ever before, and grassroots movements of indigenous peoples, workers, and peasants are increasingly shaping the political landscape. The time is perfect for a rediscovery of Mariategui, who is considered an intellectual precursor of today's struggles in Latin America but virtually unknown in the English-speaking world. This volume collects his essential writings, including many that have never been translated and some that have never been published. The scope of this collection, masterful translation, and thoughtful commentary make it an essential book for scholars of Latin America and all of those fighting for a new world, waiting to be born."

I always remember, seeing him, driving through Birmingham in his VW Cabriolet convertible. He has taken his toasting talents around the world representing his upbringing and culture, truly a pioneer for toasting about "Roots and Culture" but from a British-Jamaican aspect rather than the other way round. This book, is a must-read for anyone growing up in Britain in the inner Cities of all cultures. -- Dennis Seaton, Record Producer, Musical Youth
