A foundational essay of class struggle published in English for the first time Considered one of the most important intellectuals in Latin American social thought, Ruy Mauro Marini demonstrated that underdevelopment and development are the result of relations between economies in the world market, and the class relations they engender.

This encouraged capitalists in the periphery to ...

"In this work, Desirée Poets posits that contemporary Brazil is a settler colony. Based on ethnographic research and her experiences growing up in Brazil, the book tells the stories of communities in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte-two quilombos, two Indigenous movements, and a favela-to unravel the continuities and discontinuities of Brazil's settler colonial structure. As Poets argues, settler colonialism is renewed through expectations of Indigenous and quilombola authenticity as well as through militarization, incarceration, genocide, and marginalization that continuously attempt to dispossess and eliminate Black and Indigenous peoples from the political landscape, includ...

El libro presenta una propuesta original a través de una historia social de las ideas sobre el desarrollo económico latinoamericano: si bien su estructura aborda la trayectoria vital de cada uno de los principales representantes de la primera generación de teóricos del desarrollo en la región, muestra una trama intelectual e ideológica que desborda los periplos individuales y los anuda a un momento histórico en el plano de la evolución de las ideas y a un determinado contexto de las condiciones sociales, culturales y materiales en los que se desarrollaron. Las ideas (económicas) son estructuras discernibles de significado, perspectiva y fidelidad a un propósito y, como las instituc...
