Notes on the Latin America Diversity. An Essay

Abstract

This essay analyzes and converses with the work "Notes on Latin American Intelli­gentsia" by Alfonso Reyes. In it, I develop an approach to Reyes’ main contributions, as well as to questions raised by the author regarding the value and the work of the Latin American intelligentsia, relating this approach to the contemporaneity of diversity, the academy, the culture and society of Our America. The work emerges as part of the work al the Master's in Latin  American Studies Programme, at the Institute of Latin American Studies, of the Universidad Nacional de Cos­ta Rica (National University of Costa Rica), in addressing the Latin-Ameri­canist thinking, along with contempo­rary large intellectual proposals of Nues­tra America (Our-America).
