In this edifying volume Sarah Corona and Claudia Zapata extrapolate
the causes for the divisions between groups in Latin American
society, bringing their years of experience investigating the
conditions and consequences of heterogeneity in the region. First,
Corona approaches the problem of difference and heterogeneity
epistemologically, asking about the possible benefits of horizontal
modes of knowledge production between academics and the "social
other." She demands reification for those without access to
institutions who experience social ills and theorizes a
trans-disciplinary dialogue to discover a horizontal construction
of knowledge. Zapata evaluates and questions whether indigenous
people throughout the continent have had their quality of life
improved by the recognition of their collective rights as peoples.
These two works provide overviews of a Latin American
multiculturalism that connects to parallel movements in North
America and Europe. Combined they offer a guide that could be vital
to future activism and social work whether in the classroom or on
the streets. Critical Interculturality and Horizontal Methodology
in Latin America will appeal to scholars and students who are in
need of new ways to comprehend the current strain of
multiculturalism and plurality. It offers reflections on how social
research can be not only sensitive to the epistemologies and
interests of the "cultural other," but approach parity and
horizontality in dialogue.
