Los estudios chinos en Iberoamérica
en el siglo XXI [Chinese Studies in Ibero-America in the 21st Century]
21世纪拉丁美洲的中国研究
Raquel Isamara León de la Rosa – Xulio Ríos (Coordinators)
We cannot deny that Chinese studies in Ibero-America have grown in recent decades, albeit in a fragmented manner. Valuable initiatives have marked the course of recent years in Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Costa Rica, among others, but with little coordination among them.
Los estudios chinos en Iberoamérica en el siglo XXI [Chinese Studies in Ibero-America in the 21st Century] 21世纪拉丁美洲的中国研究, demonstrates that another path is possible. We are not talking about a collection of disconnected chapters, but rather an organized dialogue among researchers from different Ibero-American countries, with diverse perspectives and a common purpose: To understand China from here, from our own history and with our own questions. This effort to systematize the work of those who have been studying China will undoubtedly allow us to identify strengths, observe gaps and share theoretical approaches, methodologies and sources with our own voice. This is something we are also deeply committed to from Venezuela.
