Latin American Perspectives on Globalization

Ethics, Politics, and Alternative Visions
Herausgeber: Sáenz, Mario

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

From the most prominent thinkers in Latin American philosophy, literature, politics, and social science comes a challenge to conventional theories of globalization. The contributors to this volume imagine a discourse in which revolution requires no temporalized march of progress or takeovers of state power but instead aims at local control and the material conditions for human dignity.
