Inhaltsangabe

Gino Germani's intellectual itinerary is a key step in the understanding of sociology in Latin America. Offering a fresh perspective, this book seeks to strengthen a better reflection on the history of sociology and social sciences in the region, through a reconstruction of the content and context of his enormous production and its legacies and legitimacies.

The volume argues that Germani made a huge contribution to the development of sociology and social thought not only in Argentina and South America but also throughout Latin America, United States and Italy, with an enriching and original interdisciplinary perspective. It identifies his theoretical and conceptual proposals and empirical approach and discusses the implications of his ideas in different regional, national and local experiences and contexts. In particular, they promote the prospect of comparative studies focused on different areas of the Global South.

A vital collection of work on a key thinker in Latin American Sociology for scholars and students of Sociology in the Americas and the Global South.
