Latin America and Contemporary Modernity : A Sociological Interpretation Hardback
by Jose Mauricio Domingues
Part of the Routledge Advances in Sociology series
Hardback
Description
In this book, renowned author Jose Mauricio Domingues places Latin America within the third phase of global modern civilization and offers a general theoretical approach to contemporary Latin America.
He sees modernity as configured by episodic modernizing moves which, when counting on strong identity and organization as well as clear-cut projects, may assume the aspect of modernizing offensives.
Highlighting subjects as law, rights and justice as well as globalization and development, Dominguez places Latin America in the uneven, combined and contradictory development of modern civilization and offers a final assessment of its possibilities and limits.
The book will be of interest to researchers and students of modernity, globalization, Latin America, sociological theory and its key concepts.
