Dilemas da América Latina contemporânea e o resgate da teoria marxista da dependência

Abstract

The critical debate of structural dependency is the key issue of this work, since the countries of Latin America are linked to the historical mode of development of global capitalism and marked by their particular forms of social-economic formations. This is the dialectical movement to be analyzed. Studying it implies thinking about the history of its colonization and transition, as well as the histories of resistance, conflicts and confrontations to the framework of subordination: this is where its specificity resides, despite recognizing the differences and similarities that exists among Latin American countries. This paper is essentially theoretical, focused mainly on the perspective of the work O capitalismo dependente latino-americano, written in 1972 by Vânia Bambirra. The author was chosen as she offers an important analytical point of view to the main questions formulated by the Dependency Theory
