Translated by Victoria Furio and Mariana Ortega-Breña
The German-born, Chilean author Norbert Lechner remains one of Latin America’s most prominent and creative social scientists. His work is indebted to the intense debates regarding theories of modernization, developmentalism, and dependence that took place in Latin American intellectual and political circles.
This anthology, which includes the first translations into English of three of his most outstanding works, can guide our readers, like Ariadne’s thread, through the intellectual output of this great thinker.
