SANTAMARIA GARCIA, Antonio. Regions, subordinates, invisibles, political culture, and inequality. Crisis and return of the social in the history of Latin America in the 20th century. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.18, pp.285-326. ISSN 2007-8846.  https://doi.org/10.21696/rcsl9182019879.

The paper analyzes recent historiography on Latin America in the 20th century, especially that grouped generically around postmodern thought. Methodologically, it is structured according to analysis of the main historiographical trends, more representative contributions and its criticism, and as a result it shows that there has been a radical methodological effort that has renewed the historiography, but that has generated a dispersion in knowledge that requires synthesis. Logically, its limitations lie in the breadth of the contributions analyzed, the vastness of the space they deal with, further compounded by a multitude of national historiographies, and its originality lies in the consistency with the results; synthesis and critique in order to evaluate the results of a vast historiographical renovation. Because it is a historiographical essay, the finding and conclusions are implicit in the objective, methodology and originality and value of the article.

Palabras llave : historiography; latin america; 20th century; new cultural studies; inequalities.
