Excellent- More about Sociology in Ecuador
Palgrave Pivot provides a concise history of sociology in Ecuador, oscillating between theoretical debates and local applications. Early sociology worked with outdated theories to understand indigenous population, regional fragmentation, and nation-state formation. Marxist-inspired critical sociology took up these topics in the 1970s, leading to institutionalization. The book engages with relevant debates in social sciences and humanities, particularly on social sciences and higher education in Latin America, and discusses Southern Theory, postcolonialism, and academia-politics relations.

This Palgrave Pivot offers a concise yet comprehensive account of the development of sociology in Ecuador. The case of Ecuador is particularly intriguing, as Ecuadorian sociology oscillated between theoretical debates, some of which were outdated, and a persistent endeavor to apply these theories to the local context. In the decades following its formal establishment in 1915, early academic sociology in Ecuador engaged creatively with outdated theories such as positivism and organicism to understand the position of the indigenous population, regional fragmentation, and the formation of a cohesive nation-state in Ecuador. Following a brief attempt to introduce a more technical approach to sociology in the 1960s, these topics were revisited and reinterpreted by critical sociology inspired by Marxism in the 1970s, leading to the institutionalization of a particular tradition that could engage with continental debates. This book engages with several relevant debates in social sciences and humanities, particularly by contributing to the growing research on social sciences and the role of universities and higher education in Latin America. Furthermore, it touches upon some recently influential topics in sociology, such as the reading of Ecuadorian sociology as Southern Theory, the exploration of the diffusion or localization of ideas, the relationship between academia and politics, and more.
