García-Canclin interrogates how could be possible that popular cultures have been excluded from research on hegemony and state‚ social change‚ and development in a continent in which masses have been decisive in revolutions. Two crisis have lead to study popular cultures: first‚ the crisis of hegemony and the epistemological crisis. “The exhaustion of economistic paradigms that fail to account for the cultural bases of power‚ and the non-economic necessities that mobilize peoples” (p. 467).

While I could clearly see Modelski’s comparison of Goldberg’s
