«La construcción social y política del medio ambiente» is José Luis Lezama's essay on the social perception of environmental problems, published by El Colegio de México in paperback (277 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyses the environment not as a physical reality but as a social construction: society perceives it, feels it and gives it meaning through images, symbols and norms. Lezama explains that environmental awareness depends on the social will to see and on the normative frameworks that condition it, not only on the objective existence of facts. Therefore, environmental problems become real when they concern the population and mobilise policies and programmes to address them, integrating the political dimension into that construction.
Volume in the Estudios Demográficos, Urbanos y Ambientales series from El Colegio de México, originally published in 2004 and reprinted in 2008.
Recommended for students and readers interested in environmental sociology, public policy and urban and demographic studies.
