DESCRIPTION:Recently there has appeared an explosion of writin
 gs in English focused on perspectives on science\,
  technology and society from Latin America. These 
 have met with varied responses from Northern 'inte
 rnational' history\, philosophy and social studies
  of science and technology. Here I suggest that ma
 ny of the most positive and welcoming such respons
 es nevertheless tend to replicate the now long dis
 credited Unit of Science program. They do so insof
 ar as they propose\, often enthusiastically\, to i
 nclude the Latin American issues and arguments int
 o their existing conceptual frameworks for the his
 tory\, philosophy or social studies of science. Ye
 t many of the Latin American accounts overtly resi
 st such inclusion. Rather they insist on foregroun
 ding the different worlds assumed by such Latin Am
 erican work\, and\, consequently\, what they regar
 d as valuably persisting conflicts and tensions be
 tween these worlds. They advocate for parochializi
 ng Northern history\, philosophy and social studie
 s of science\, and thus for ontological as well as
  epistemological pluralism in these fields.
