Alternautas

Current Issue

Published July 31, 2026

Alternautas is a multi-disciplinary journal devoted to counter-balancing mainstream understandings of development in/from Latin America – Abya Yala. Alternautas emerges from a desire to bridge language barriers by bringing Latin American critical development thinking to broader English-speaking audiences. The journal covers a broad range of development issues across regular and special issues. The journal was launched in 2014 and is fully open access, with no fees for readers or authors.
