El latinoamericanismo como pensamiento descolonizador

Abstract

In this article is explained the genesis of the philosophy of the latinoamericanismo as descolonizing praxis. For this purpose is studied the impact of the struggle of men and women on the foundations of the identity of being Latin American and Latin America since a libertarian position. To support this liberator perspective, appear first the arguments justifying colonialism, afterwords, the critique of colonialism, the recognition of America as matria and the support for the exercise of sovereignty, all based on facts of the Latin American history and the inventory of us contributions to world culture.
