¿Es factible el progreso social cuando diez menos uno es igual a cero?

Este artículo analiza las opiniones de dieciséis académicos caribeños sobre el progreso social y concluye que tal cosa es en realidad inalcanzable en el Caribe, donde las metanarrativas diezman las masas y mantienen las posiciones de poder de unas pocas elites. En vista de esto, un paso importante hacia el avance social en el Caribe sería la evisceración de las metanarrativas europeas atrincheradas.
