I must be missing something. Michael, can you explain why the emergence of the 
left has inspired interest in the indigenous psychology of time and space? Is 
there some non-Eurocentric connection between political leanings and concepts 
of time and space?

The emergence of the left in the Americas Chavez in Venezuela,Ortega in 
Nicaragua,Morales in Bolivia,Michele Batchelet in Chile and Correa in Ecuador
have inspired interest in the indigenous psychology of the region.Of particular 
interests are concepts of  time and space.For example among the Aymara 
indigenous people of Bolivia,the past is ahead and the future is in the 
past.This type of conceptualization illustrates the problems Eurocentric and 
U.S-centric paradigms would encounter in the Coppercentric world.
