Contributions of latin american thought critical social work

Abstract

 The central objective of this study was to analyze the contribution of Latinamerican critical thinking to the discipline and practice of social work, concluding that there is a deep connection between them. This study was developed through a revision of the state of the art and a biblographic analysis from a hermeneutic perspective. Examples are given of the contribution of Latin American critical thinking in a historic, disciplinary and practical context. It is proposed that looking to the Latin American way of critical thinking within social work is an opportunity to nurture new conceptual frameworks to generate knowledge for transformative action in current society.
