Abstract
While we celebrate one hundred years of Latin American Social Work, this issue opens up a space for dialogue beyond Our America, seeking to build critical “South–North” bridges. These are vigilant dialogues, attentive to the long-standing colonial asymmetries, aimed at fostering mutually enriching contributions and enabling us to strengthen and renew our commitments to social justice.
