ABSTRACT
This article casts light on the fact that the economic changes which were
implemented in Latin America from the 1930s in order to emerge from
the crisis invigorated the political sphere, generating at the same time a
modernisation process both politically and socially all over the continent. In
this transformation, the irruption of the urban proletariat was a determining
factor, which altered the system of socio-political relations forever. These
measures boosted a process of socio-political modernity focused on a
nationalism that reached all areas of life in the countries. The important
thing is to show that this nationalism shifted away from the European
cultural tradition and allowed Latin America to discover its own identity
which revalued what is Latin American.
Keywords: Latin America, modernization, industrialization, nacionalism.
