Description

This book begins by examining the concept of utopia in Latin-American thought, particularly its roots within indigenous emancipatory practice, and suggests that within this concept can be found a resonance with the dialectic of negativity that Hegel developed following the French-Revolution. From this theoretical-philosophical plane, the study moves to the liberation practices of social movements in recent Latin American history.
