Abstract
Based on an analysis of letters from the Milton Santos collection, the article revisits his journey through exile and shows how he contributed to solidifying the field of critical geography. It also pinpoints elements that reveal the genesis of his intellectual network, which involved thinkers from France, the United States, and Latin America. Focusing on the contexts of his exile, the article links his experiences outside Brazil to new scientific interests and the formation of an international circle of cooperation. Secondarily, it provides evidence of his concern with planning. It is found that his interest in the group of Pierre George and François Perroux was followed by a critical stance that moved him toward dialogue with Marxist philosophy and structuralism.

Notamos que Milton tenta, na medida do possível, sustentar ambas ao se corresponder com os colegas da geografia brasileira, alguns deles já ocupando cargos importantes nas diversas instituições, e, ao mesmo tempo, colocando-se para os pares do campo na França e nos EUA como detentor de um conhecimento que lhe confere distinção: a realidade dos países subdesenvolvidos
