Liberation social psychology: learning from Latin America

Abstract: Liberation Social Psychology (la psicología social de la liberación, LSP) has developed amongst a body of psychologists in Latin America over the last decade. There has been no survey of the field in English, although some of the ideas are of relevance for those working with oppressed groups elsewhere in the world. This article explores the context in which LSP grew from the work of Ignacio Martín-Baró and was developed by Maritza Montero, amongst others. Within LSP, key concepts emerge, including 'conscientiz… Show more

“…The first has been fiercely attacked for essentialising the culture of poor people and downplaying the possibility of conscientisation (e.g. Burton and Kagan, 2005). From a 'local first' perspective non-state welfare provision, including so called 'traditional' forms of Andean collective action may also deliver more meaningful and rounded wellbeing outcomes than so-called 'modern' Western alternatives (Alvarez Ramos, 2007).…”
