Abstract

By embracing counter-colonialism at large, this article challenges the subordination and eventual complicity of management and marketing studies with the dark(er) side of liberal internationalism pasts. We show how the official history of consumerism in marketing overlooks important events related to the US liberal internationalism project during and before the Cold War period, which are closely associated by other areas of knowledge in the United States with the hegemonic plans of the United States in becoming the sole global power in the post-World War II, at the expense of the Third World movement that aimed to bring independence to the Global South.

RESUMEN

Mediante la adopción del contracolonialismo en general, este artículo desafía la subordinación y probable complicidad de la gerencia y estudios de marketing con la cara (más) oscura de los pasados del internacionalismo liberal. Demostramos cómo la historia oficial del consumismo en el marketing no toma en cuenta eventos importantes relacionados al proyecto del internacionalismo liberal norteamericano, durante y antes del período de la Guerra Fría, estrechamente vinculado con otras áreas de conocimiento norteamericanas con los planes hegemónicos del país de convertirse en el único poder global en el período posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en detrimento del movimiento del Tercer Mundo que pretendía independizar el mundialmente el sur.

RESUMO

Ao adotar o contra-colonialismo como um todo, este artigo desafia a subordinação e a cumplicidade consequente dos estudos de gestão e marketing com o lado (mais) escuro do passado de internacionalismo liberal. Demonstramos como a história oficial do consumerismo no marketing negligencia eventos importantes relacionados ao projeto de internacionalismo liberal norte-americano durante e antes do período da Guerra Fria, intimamente associado por outras áreas de conhecimento nos Estados Unidos com os planos hegemônicos dos EUA em tornar-se o único poder global no período posterior à Segunda Guerra Mundial, à custa do movimento do Terceiro Mundo que pretende trazer a independência ao sul global.
