This article is part of the research "The Movement of Reconceptualization of Social Work in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia): historical determinants, international interlocutions and memory." Our emphasis is limited to Portugal, Spain, USA and Canada (1960-1980). In this research we intend to identify the theoretical-methodological references of social work in this period, in its links with the social contestation movements and with the Latin American reconceptualization movement (MRLA). We inquire about the relationship between the MRLA and the critical and radical social work, considering its particularities, antecedents, expressions and aftereffects. In this article, we present an economic, political, social and cultural panorama of the conjuncture of these countries at the time. We also present the movements of critical and radical social work and both their ethical-political and theoretical-methodological references, which distinguish them from traditional social work and indicate, when pertinent, the interlocutions of these movements and productions with the MRLA.
