Extract

In a letter to a friend in the United States dated May 16, 1969, a leading Colombian sociologist declared:

I have been trying to disattach myself from portions of the North American heritage which I had received, and with which I find myself increasingly at odds. For this reason, I cannot identify myself with any institution of the United States that would uphold or sustain the present economic and social policies pursued toward the Nations of the Third World.
