BARRETO RAMIREZ, Emilio. Latin America and it choppinesses in the symbolic dimension after COVID-19. ARCIC [online]. 2020, vol.9, n.24, pp. 50-67.  Epub 18-Jan-2021. ISSN 2411-9970.

For Latin America, westernization constitutes a first gain: through the concretion of this process, Latin American societies have imposed a kind of handicap on the First World, since the Nation-States, by assuming the model of life, culture and Western government, they have planted in the North a mode of resistance against hegemonic thought. This has enabled them to survive and develop as a mechanism within Western canons: the South with its specificities, but in a Western key. This reality can be translated into the ancestral westernization of Latin America as a dialectical and ambivalent process that achieves a conclusion in the decision to build a region that, in matters of symbolic production and identity, understands that existing and growing is necessary starting from looking straight ahead. The West developed with the techniques and technology of the affluent West itself.
