Gómez Y. · Aníbal Quijano: Dissidences and Crossroads of Latin American Critical Theory (2024) · DOI: 10.4324/9781032617749-5

Resumen

This chapter covers Quijano’s activity in Sociedad y política (1972-1883). The socialist-oriented magazine becomes a privileged source to delve into the movement of his reflection. Under Quijano’s leadership, this experience serves as an invaluable resource for tracing the evolution of theoretical and political development, as well as the reevaluation of the potential for social transformation. It illuminates his transition from socialism to the recognition of the coloniality of power. In order to accomplish this, the analysis delves into the origins, guiding principles, debates and seminal articles of the project.
