摘要：This article deals with the representations on the Latin American identity, developed by intellectuals during the 1960 decade, which was a period of exacerbation of the Cold War in that particular region and also of strong influence of Cepalino thought. In an attempt to characterize nets of intellectuals thus formed the present analysis focuses on three periodicals that shared great success at that time, namely Revista Mexicana de Sociologia, Cuadernos Americanos e Desarrollo Económico.
