Ivan Illich on Latin America and Imported Institutions
“Latin America can no longer tolerate being a haven for United States liberals who cannot make their point at home, an outlet for apostles too “apostolic” to find their vocation as competent professionals within their own community. The hardware salesman threatens to dump second-rate imitations of parishes, schools and catechisms — out-moded even in the United States — all around the continent. The traveling escapist threatens further to confuse a foreign world with his superficial protests, which are not viable even at home.”
Ivan Illich
