March 2022

Issue Editors: Ronald H. Chilcote and Joana Salém Vasconcelos

Latin American Perspectives was launched nearly a half century ago in the midst of a paradigmatic shift in thinking about development. Concerned with backwardness, underdevelopment, and dependency, the new thinking was led by Rodolfo Stavenhagen in Mexico, Agustín Cueva in Ecuador, Aníbal Quijano in Peru, and Vania Bambirra, Theotônio dos Santos, and Ruy Mauro Marini in Brazil—all founding editors of LAP. Four early LAP issues carried debate around essential questions and new theoretical direction. The January 2022 (Part 1) issue returns to this early historical thought and to contemporary Marxist debates of past and present theories of dependency and peripheral debates. The March 2022 issue (Part 2) looks at the relevance of this theory to contemporary Latin American case studies.
