This is the first book in English to show how the work of Lev
Vygotsky gave rise to a prolific and original school of
cultural-historical psychology in Latin America. In recent decades,
Latin American researchers have expanded Vygotskyan
conceptualizations and applied practical theory to psychological
and educational research and practice, but until now this
production remained virtually unknown for English speaking
audiences since it has been mainly published in Spanish and
Portuguese. This timely volume contributes to change this situation
by presenting a panoramic picture of the state of the art of
cultural-historical psychology in Latin America. The book is
divided in two parts. The first part shows how Latin American
researchers used Vygotsky's work to develop new theoretical
elaborations and empirical advances to deal with different
political, social and cultural problems in the region. The second
part presents an overview of the current state of
cultural-historical psychology in Latin America. Throughout its 15
chapters, the book shows how Latin American researchers contributed
to the studies of different aspects of the cultural-historical
theoretical conception of the development of higher psychological
functions, such as concept formation, inner speech, zone of
proximal development and imagination, and how these theoretical
elaborations have been applied to research and practice in fields
such as sociocultural psychology, developmental psychology,
psychotherapy and education in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia,
Cuba, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico. Latin American Advances in
Subjectivity and Development - Through the Vygotsky Route will be
an invaluable resource to researchers, students and practitioners
in the fields of psychology, education and other social sciences
interested in discovering or learning more about the original Latin
American school of cultural-historical psychology.
