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.

Industry Reviews

'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 Goeran 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 Valdes, Coordinator for the Friedriech Ebert Stiftung in Colombia
