Abstract

This biography is a subjective account of my memories about my life experiences and scientific training that have shaped my intellectual development . They have influenced my commitment to fight for a more just and equitable society for women and men and for a more peaceful world. Three continents forged my intellectual experiences, and I have received very contrasting impacts that have left deep footprints on my scientific and social commitments and on my life as a mother, a social activist, policymaker and as a socio-environmental scientist who has aimed for a more just and peaceful world.

Notes

  1. 1.

    There was a coup d’état in 1970 in Syria, in 1971 in Uganda and Sudan and in 1972 in Ghana.

  2. 2.

    Reprinted in English by Stavenhagen (2012, 2013).

  3. 3.

    Ejido is the name for the land given collectively to peasants who struggled for it after the Mexican Revolution (1910). The land is individually assigned for agriculture, and parts are collectively maintained as common holdings . It is a synthesis of the Aztec calpulli and the medieval Spanish ejido . In 1992, a change in Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution allowed now renting, selling or associating with enterprises in ejido land .

  4. 4.

    “Al caminar por el sendero de UCEZ a la central por Acueducto y Madero y Valentín Gómez Farías policías compadecidos de un proceder muy duro y caritativa benevolencia para librarme del frío y descargar su conciencia con humanitaria madriza excelente contra el frío me dieron mi calentadita y también a mi esposa Evita”.

  5. 5.

    Different names for governmental programs to alleviate poverty, but with low impact, since after three decades the number and percentage of poor people remains the same.

  6. 6.

    1988: El Impacto de Crisis en la Estructura Social de México [The impact of the crisis in the social structure of Mexico ]; 1991: ‘Criterios de evaluación para la organización y modernización del campo’ (Evaluation criteria for the organization and modernisation of rural areas ); ‘Pobreza perversa (Perverse poverty 1990) and Estrategias de supervivencia’ (Survivial strategies 1991), ‘La política de seguridad alimentaria y la problemática del libre comercio: análisis del caso mexicano’ (The policy of food security and problems of free trade : analysis of the Mexican case 1992); ‘México ante el reto del siglo XXI’ (Mexico confronted with the challenge of the 21st Century 1992); ‘Entorno social y calidad del agua en el Estado de Morelos ’ (Social environment and water quality in the state of Morelos ), ‘Estrategias de supervivencia como procesos educativos hacia una paz positiva’ (Survival strategies as an educational process towards a positive peace ), ‘El campesinado ante el tratado de libre comercio’ (Peasantry confronted with the free trade agreement), ‘La situación ecológica del estado de Morelos , difícil aunque superable’” (The ecological situation in the state of Morelos , difficult but surmountable 1992).

  7. 7.

    “Plan Condor began with the U.S. supported military coup against Chile ’s democratically elected socialist president, Salvador Allende. Allende’s government was targeted as a threat to U.S. strategic policy in Latin America early on. White House tapes reveal that on Sept. 14, 1970, then-President Richard Nixon ordered measures to force the Chilean economy into bankruptcy . ‘The U.S. will not accept a Marxist government just because of the irresponsibility of the Chilean people,’ declared Henry Kissinger, Nixon´s secretary of State. Declassified U.S. Department of State documents have provided evidence to Plan Condor’s broad scope. The Operation was an ambitious and successful plan to coordinate repression internationally. FBI special agent intelligence liaison to the Southern Cone countries Robert Scherrer (now deceased) sent the letter to the U.S. embassy in Argentina on September 28, 1976: ‘“Operation Condor” is the code name for the collection, exchange and storage of intelligence data concerning so-called ‘leftists,’ communists and Marxists, which was recently established between cooperating intelligence services in South America in order to eliminate Marxist terrorist activities in the area.’” Trigona (2007). Plan Condor: Crimes without Borders in Latin America , 12th of December at: http://upsidedownworld.org/main/argentina-archives-32/1042--plan-condor-crimes-without-borders-in-latin-america.

  8. 8.

    De Souza and multiple other founding members returned to their country when in August 1979 in Brazil an amnesty law allowed the politically persecuted to go home. It was in 1985, when the first civilian president took office that ‘Betinho’, as friends called him, entered in the Brazilian government, where he was responsible for fighting against hunger .

  9. 9.

    CIVAC means Industrial City of the Valley of Cuernavaca.

  10. 10.

    Lope de Vega (1562–1635) wrote a drama about collective power , based on a real event which took place in the village of Fuenteovejuna in Cordoba in 1476, when the community executed an abusive representative of the Catholic King with stones, axes and pikes. During questioning to determine the perpetrators, the community always answered, “Fuenteovejuna did it,” until finally the King absolved the community. In environmental terms, only through collective action, in which everybody gets involved, is it possible to save the earth and humanity.

  11. 11.

    Santiago Genovés (1923–2013) was a physical anthropologist, who wrote more than thirty books. He crossed the Atlantic twice in a precarious raft and proved that before the Spanish conquest there were other contacts with America. In the raft Acali, with eleven people on board, he proved during the three month crossing his theory about violence and human behaviour .
