Sociology and the South

The Latin American Experience

Raquel Sosa Elizaga

Universidad Nacional de México

Latin American sociology has gone through critical revisions since the mid-20th century. However, the latest view proposes one of the more radical changes ever thought of: to stop seeing the region as ‘opposed to’ the US empire, and begin working on the idea of the belonging to a greater region, known globally as the South. Redefinition of time and space, territory, history, knowledge and social subjects, as well of other important categories, play a crucial part in this shift. A new horizon has been opened for social sciences, and it seems that new sources for creativity have emerged.

Key Words: creativity • Latin American sociology • new horizon • US empire
