This book explores diverse contemporary paradigms of educational praxis and learning in Latin America, both formal and non-formal. Each contributor offers a unique perspective on the factors which lead to the production of paradigms rooted in ‘other’ logics, cosmologies, and realities, and how these factors may renegotiate and redefine concepts of education, learning, and knowledge. The various chapters provide a road map for scholars, activists, artists, students, organizations, and social movements to help begin to construct learning spaces that seek to engage with a new more horizontal form of participatory democracy.

The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development seeks to engage with comprehensive, contemporary, and critical theoretical debates on Latin American development. The volume draws on contributions from across the humanities and social sciences and, unlike earlier volumes of this kind, explicitly highlights the disruptions to the field being brought by a range of anti-capitalist, decolonial, feminist, and ontological intellectual contributions. The chapters consider in depth the harms and suffering caused by various oppressive forces, as well as the creative and often revolutionary ways in which ordinary Latin Americans resist, fight back, and work to construct development defined broadly as the struggle for a better and more dignified life. The book covers many key themes including development policy and practice; neoliberalism and its aftermath; the role played by social movements in cities and rural areas; the politics of water, oil, and other environmental resources; indigenous and Afro-descendant rights; and the struggles for gender equality. With contributions from authors working in Latin America, the US and Canada, Europe, and New Zealand at a range of universities and other organizations, the handbook is an invaluable resource for students and teachers in development studies, Latin American studies, cultural studies, human geography, anthropology, sociology, political science, and economics, as well as for activists and development practitioners.

Este artículo es resultado de un proceso investigativo desarrollado bajo la metodología de estudio de caso, que analizó las fortalezas, limitaciones y contribuciones del programa de Licenciatura en Etnoeducación de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD) a los procesos de interculturalidad y Buen Vivir de las comunidades étnicas a las que pertenecen los estudiantes del programa en cuestión. La investigación se guía por la teoría descolonial, y relaciona conceptos como colonialidad del saber, interculturalidad y Buen Vivir. El estudio identificó que, en la institución, en docentes y estudiantes, coexisten diversas visiones de interculturalidad y Buen Vivir. Se destaca a su vez que el programa representa un escenario de reconocimiento a la diversidad, a través de la puesta en marcha de distintas prácticas educativas, lo que posibilita la resignificación identitaria. No obstante, al interior de estas prácticas aún se replican dimensiones de la colonialidad del saber que es necesario revisar, de tal forma que permita llevar a la realidad los procesos de interculturalidad, que no solo queden limitados a situaciones o momentos específicos, sino que trascienda y, por ende, permita la reconfiguración de las estructuras institucionales, impactando el Buen Vivir de las comunidades a las que pertenecen las y los estudiantes.
