DESCRIPTION
In contemporary Latin American History of Ideas a division is frequently made between a center and an identity tradition. The center tradition would emphasize the; we-want-to-be-like-the-center, meaning that the traditions are directed at how best to implement ideas from the center, mostly referred to either Europe or the USA. The identity tradition would emphasize the; we-want-to-be-like-ourselves, meaning that we need to find our own roots and lead ourselves. This course is an introduction to the main issues of the identity tradition.
