Reflections of a Transborder Anthropologist, Carlos G. Vélez-Ibáñez latest book, shows how both Vélez-Ibáñez and anthropology have changed and formed over a fifty-year period. Throughout, he has worked to understand how people survive and thrive against all odds. Vélez-Ibáñez has been guided by the burning desire to understand inequality, exploitation, and legitimacy, and, most importantly, to provide platforms for the voiceless to narrate their own histories.

 This event is co-hosted by Open Arizona.
