Global Entangled Inequalities: Conceptual Debates and Evidence from Latin America: Entangled Inequalities: Exploring Global Asymmetries

Editat de Elizabeth Jelin, Renata Motta, Sérgio Costa
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 noi 2017
This book presents studies from across Latin America to take up the challenge of exploring the plurality of social inequalities from a global perspective. Accordingly, it identifies the structural forces of social inequalities on a world scale as they shape asymmetries observed in a wide array of phenomena, such as racial and gender inequality, urbanization, migration, commodity production, indigenous mobilization, ecological conflicts, and the "new middle class". A rich contribution to the study of the interconnections between the global social structure and multiple local and national hierarchies, Global Entangled Inequalities brings consistently together a variety of conceptual approaches, ranging from ethnographies to legal genealogies, and will therefore appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in social theory, power analysis, intersectionality studies, urban studies, and global social and environmental justice.

Recenzii

‘Rich in empirical content and with explicit theoretical ambitions, this book grapples with the multidimensionality and multi-scalarity of inequality. In so doing, it makes a distinctive contribution to the literature on global inequality.’ - Professor Göran Therborn, University of Cambridge, UK
‘Analysing inequalities in terms of the operation of multiple forces, as a multiscalar and plural phenomenon, and embedded into important dynamics of transformation, this book offers important and refreshing ideas for these interested in understanding social inequalities.’ - Maria Fernanda Valdés, Coordinator for the Friedriech Ebert Stiftung in Colombia

Descriere

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.
