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."--Provided by publisher Subject Equality -- Latin America Income distribution -- Latin America Social stratification -- Latin America Economic history Equality Income distribution Social conditions Social stratification SUBJECT Latin America -- Social conditions. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85074916 Latin America -- Economic conditions. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85074888 Subject Latin America Form Electronic book Author Motta, Renata, editor Costa, Sérgio, editor ISBN 9781138019263 1138019267
