In the form of a sociological pilgrimage, this book approaches some
topics essential to understanding the role of science in Latin
America, juxtaposing several approaches and exploring three main
lines: First, the production and use of knowledge in these
countries, viewed from a historical and sociological point of view;
second, the reciprocal construction of scientific and public
problems, presented through significant cases such as Latin
American Chagas Disease; and third, the past and present
asymmetries affecting the relationships between centers and
peripheries in scientific research. These topics show the paradox
of being at the same time "modern" and "peripheral."
