Abstract

The history of the middle class had a belated surge in Latin America and it has created strong controversy as well as an emerging field of research. This essay – initially a conference – revises the discussions about this social group on the basis of recent history. Focusing on Latin America, this framework allows us to explore five analytical key points that enable us to reflect upon the middle class from a historical approach.
