Synopsis

Key Texts for Latin American Sociology comprises translations of key texts from the Latin American Sociology canon. It is the first book to curate and then translate these key texts into English, bringing together texts from leading sociologists in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Bolivia, and Uruguay, to provide comprehensive coverage of a wide range of issues in Latin American Sociology.

By drawing attention to embedded issues such as development, inequalities, oppression and representation, the key texts approach sociology in its most authentic terms: as a means of understanding and committing to social change.

The result of five years of collaboration between colleagues from 15 Latin American Countries, this volume was conceived at a workshop in Mendoza in 2013, where the scientific committee discussed the difference between "classics" and "key-texts" in Latin American sociology.

About this title

Review:

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, Professor of Sociology, European Center of Sociology and Political Science (CESSP). 

-- Johan Heilbron

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
