| Sumario: | The author suggests that development models influenced by the capitalist
model of development overlooks nonmaterial dimensions of
development and underdevelopment. As a consequence of this, social
sciences, which are shaped by capitalist concerns also, do not examine
the negative consequences of colonization on underdeveloped societies.
The problem is not just ideological it is also epistemological. Positive
social science, according to the author an offshoot of capitalism, is also
unable to comprehend the most important consequence of colonization
- other underdevelopment - the underdevelopment of the cultural
symbols, psychology, and language of the colonized societies. The
author advances a model that will help include an analysis of culturalsymbolic
underdevelopment in the study of development and underdevelopment
of societies.
