JAIMES ACEVEDO, Juana Marcela. Lines of thought from Latin America, the precursors of thought on underdevelopment. Prob. Des [online]. 2023, vol.54, n.214, pp.1-16.  Epub 18-Mar-2024. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2023.214.69975.

This article reviews the leading exponents of Latin American thought on underdevelopment, emphasizing their importance amid the dominant theories being systematically proposed worldwide. It also highlights their transcendence in generating a vernacular line of thought on the region’s development in relation to the patterns of capitalist power established as the structural basis on which the unequal course of Latin America has been perpetuated. Thus, the objective is to retake their theoretical approaches, proposing that we can find cues in their analytical suggestions that contribute to the forced exercise of thinking from a Latin American point of view and move towards other alternatives for the future.
