ABSTRACT
Studies on the Global South have blossomed in the last decade. This has been a welcomed development to overcome the long-time neglect from social sciences to the particularities of these societies. In the past, social sciences have either focused on central societies (with the exception of anthropology, which was born to study “primitive” societies) or, whenever they have moved their attention to the Global South, they have imposed a patronizing ethnocentric gaze on their analysis (Connell, 2007).
