Opis

This book presents studies from across Latin America to take up the challenge of exploring the plurality of social inequalities, examining the operation of multiple forces and the ways in which these bring about asymmetrical relations. Adopting a global perspective, it identifies the structural forces of social inequalities on a world scale, exploring a range of issues such as racial inequality, urban studies, migration, commodity production, indigenous mobilization, and the new middle class. A rich contribution to the study of inequalities and their dynamics, Global Entangled Inequalities brings together a variety of conceptual approaches, ranging from ethnographies to legal genealogies.
