PEIMBERT FRIAS, Guillermo A.. Comentarios y glosas en torno a Modernities de Peter Taylor. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2009, vol.4, n.7, pp.151-172. ISSN 2007-8110.

In 1996, the first edition of the influential text Open the Social Sciences, coordinated by Immanuel Wallerstein, was published in Spanish by Siglo XXI publishing house. One of the co-authors is Peter Taylor, sociologist and geographer well known in the academic world, though very little known in Mexico. It is about him that we will offer some commentaries in these notes: we will talk precisely about his reflections on the topic of modernity which we consider to continue to be relevant nowadays.
