CLACSO Working Group Political ecologies from the South/Abya-Yala
Héctor Alimonda (1949-2017) led the Political Ecology Working Group (now Political Ecologies) for 17 years
From the South/Abya-Yala) of CLACSO. Born in Argentina and exiled in Brazil, he maintained a profoundly Latin American perspective on the social sciences, critical thought, and political ecology. This book, organized by members of the Working Group, offers an original compilation of 24 articles he wrote throughout his academic career, between 1982 and 2017. However, Héctor's vast body of work is not limited to his legacy on political ecology or his published works; rather, it is an invitation to think and reflect on ourselves in a network. As we commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Working Group's founding, this legacy and its specters, in Héctor's own words, are what commit us to a living, dynamic, and always hopeful thought-action. This is something that proves essential for confronting the civilizational crisis and reimagining futures.
