This monographic issue of Ánfora brings together socially relevant research and directs the focus of analysis toward subjects historically positioned at the margins. Its central premise is that inclusion, justice, and recognition cannot be understood solely in terms of material access, but also as matters of epistemic legitimacy, memory, territory, and dignity. Drawing on debates surrounding inclusive and multicultural education, gender perspectives, coloniality of knowledge, the rights of Afro-descendant communities, aging, youth, and historical memory, the text argues that Latin American democracies will be evaluated according to their capacity to expand the field of recognition within increasingly diverse societies. This editorial maintains that the margins are not external to the system, but rather spaces from which the system reveals both its limits and its possibilities for transformation. In this
sense, listening to marginalized voices constitutes a demand for truth, intellectual justice, and democratic renewal.
