Summary "El libro tiene dos grandes temas: la identidad cultural, sobre la que se expresan opiniones balanceadas entre los extremos posibles, y la 'liberación social', entendida en general como liberación con respecto a estructuras opresivas. El itinerario de estos temas se cumple partiendo de consideraciones teóricas preliminares para desarrollar luego capítulos críticos sobre autores como José Carlos Mariátegui, Leopoldo Zea, Samuel Ramos, Augusto Salazar Bondy, Arturo A. Roig y Francisco Miró Quesada, y corrientes como la teología de la liberación, la filosofía de la liberación y el pensamiento feminista. Posiblemente en el tratamiento de este último tema se muestren con mayor intensidad las opiniones personales de la autora"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas
