This book presents a selection of major research texts, published and unpublished, by Prof. Dr. Lourdes Arizpe Schlosser, a Mexican Pioneer in Anthropology. A global intellectual leader on culture, social development, sustainability, women’s studies and indigenous groups, her texts provide both an outlook on the evolution of specific social scientific concepts and historical debates and a long-term and meta-analytical perspective integrating academic and policy discussions. By linking debates from different fields, the book helps readers to understand why people and groups make the choices they make and how the principles of social life must change to meet the challenges that new generations face in building social sustainability and effective environmental management in the twenty-first century.

Reseña: La reconocida antropóloga social Lourdes Arizpe Schlosser es precursora en los estudios sobre desarrollo sustentable y pieza clave en un importante movimiento de revitalización de las ciencias sociales en México y Latinoamérica que vincula la investigación con la acción ciudadana. La autora inició estudios antropológicos sobre las migraciones, la equidad de género, los reclamos de los grupos indígenas y de la sociedad civil, y las percepciones sociales sobre la sustentabilidad. Gran parte de su obra fue escrita a través de su participación internacional, por ejemplo, en la Comisión Mundial para la Cultura y el Desarrollo, en el Grupo de Personas Eminentes para el Diálogo de las Civilizaciones, en la Comisión de Naciones Unidas de Políticas de Desarrollo y en la UNESCO, en donde apoyó la creación de la Convención Internacional para la Salvaguarda del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial y los trabajos sobre diversidad cultural. Lourdes Arizpe, a través de sus investigaciones, analiza con bisturí por qué se detuvo el desarrollo del campo y de la transición democrática, recoge una memoria imprescindible para las ciencias sociales y ofrece propuestas para restaurar la sustentabilidad social en el país. Vivir para crear historia permite redescubrir un México dividido y convulsionado que aún no encuentra salida a los múltiples problemas de la desigualdad, la conviviabilidad, la identidad cultural y la participación social.
