Sommario/riassunto

There are many academic references describing how RMs are made, but few that explain why they are used, how they should be used and what happens when they are not properly used.In order to fill this gap, the editors have taken the contributions of more than thirty RM practitioners to produce a highly readable text organized in nine chapters. Starting with an introduction to historical, theoretical and technical requirements, the book goes on to examine all aspects of RM production from planning, preparation through analysis to certification, reviews recent development areas, RMs for li

Sommario/riassunto

“Este libro es una excelente contribution al conocimiento del marxismo latinoamericano, como conjunto de reflexiones teoricas compro-metidas con las clases subalternas y las luchas populares. Los autores discutidos por Fabián Cabaluz y Tomas Torres son muy distintos, por su origen nacional, sus enfoques temáticos, sus orientaciones politicas: René Zavaleta Mercado, Alvaro García Linera, Anfbal Quijano y Enrique Dussel. Con todo, como lo demues- tran estos ensayos, son parte de



un marxismo latinoamericano heterodoxo, herético, anti dogmático, que intenta crear conceptos y herramientas intelectuales nuevas para entender América Latina - en oposición a un otro tipo de marxismo, que solo busca aplicar los modelos teoricos y politicos formulados por el Comintern, o por la URSS estalinista”
