Abstract

Following the same questioning tone of "La Reunión I.." edited in the November edition of 1997 and as a continuation of that work the following article, following a novel style, aims at generating questions as regards "how" and "what for" the social developing processes generated in poor communities, excluded in the last decades. The novel takes place in the context of a participatory planning process (so popular lately...) in a forgotten community which could be anywhere in Latin America. The potentialities and imitations of the participatory planning process methods are depicted, as well as the almost existential dispute between the ideological visions behind the work of the technicians from public and private institutions, which promote developing processes. LA REUNION II.. presents an optimistic although highly critical message of the validity of the social work and sets up reflections as regards the questions guiding this work "… are the so called participate politics and programs TRULY useful in changing the structural situation of the poor and forgotten of this continent..?
