They challenge the view that scientific ideas and technology travel unchanged from the global North to the global South - the view of technology as 'imported magic'. They describe not only alternate pathways for innovation, invention, and discovery but also how ideas and technologies circulate in Latin American contexts and transnationally.Inside technology.Technology transferLatin AmericaScienceLatin AmericaTechnologySocial aspectsLatin AmericaSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/GeneralTechnology transferScienceTechnologySocial aspects338.98/06Medina Eden1976-Marques Ivan da CostaHolmes Christina1973-OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910786744903321Beyond imported magic3716306UNINA
