Dios y el diablo en las tierras del Sur

Abstract

The article addresses a critical reflection on the language strategies employed by the Jesuits in their catechetical work with indigenous peoples of America, since the 16th century, and the communication processes used by the United States and its agencies to seek a cultural approach to South American populations during World War II and the Cold War, taking the radio and the social imaginary as parameters, as well as the relationship between education and communication in two periods in the history of the Americas. The link between the two moments can be understood in the dominator-dominated and colonizer-colonized relationships, which runs through both stories.
