- This article explores some conditions of possibility on a library thinking in Latin America. For such purposes, the proposal for a "Librarianship from Abya Yala" was analyzed, above all because of the challenges of its claims and because it exhibits some generalized symptoms in this class of ideations (such as conceptual and methodological inconsistencies derived from regionalist identity biases). Two basic problems were identified: “identity from exclusion” and the supposed epistemic state of “knowing from inclusion”. The “identity from the exclusion” refers to the problem of trying to define the Latin American identity from the “non-Anglo-Saxon” point of view, and by the criterion of discarding foreign ideas as part of the actions to achieve, in an artificial way, the authentic “Latin American” character (without an epistemic justification involved). On the other hand, the problem of the supposed “knowing from inclusion” (which starts, rather, from exclusion and hermeneutic marginalization) takes up the same identity prejudices, and rests, indirectly, on archaic librarian functionalist thought. Despite this, its most controversial feature turns out to be that it is based on deterministic epistemic states that are not tenable ethically or epistemologically (not even in the most immediate practical sphere).
