Through a study of the port district of Rio de Janeiro and its history, from its emergence as a major slave market to its modern-day incarnation as a hub of tourism, real estate and financial speculation, this book examines the different dimensions of the manner in which capitalism expands its global process of accumulation to incorporate spaces not yet integrated into chains of value production. As such, it sheds new light on the use of explicit non-economic violence on the part of capitalist expansion, in the form of colonial or imperial policies, plundering or legal forms of expropriation. As such, it will appeal to sociologists, historians, economists, legal scholars and political theorists with interests in capitalism and inequalities.

Decolonizing European Sociology builds on the work challenging the androcentric, colonial and ethnocentric perspectives eminent in mainstream European sociology by identifying and describing the processes at work in its current critical transformation. Divided into sections organized around themes like modernity, border epistemology, migration and 'the South', this book considers the self-definition and basic concepts of social sciences through an assessment of the new theoretical developments, such as postcolonial theory and subaltern studies, and whether they can be described as the decolonization of the discipline. With contributions from a truly international team of leading social scientists, this volume constitutes a unique and tightly focused exploration of the challenges presented by the decolonization of the discipline of sociology.

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.

This Open access book explores the connections between everyday life, institutional politics, and social hierarchies that underlie the disputes between progressive forces and the radical right. It studies the case of Brazil, which is especially suggestive, given the particular combination of political choices and variables of class, gender, race, region and religion as well as the different transitions in a short period of time. The book's central thesis is that political choices reflect the potential of different political discourses—whether from the left or the (extreme) right—to articulate sufferings, anxieties, and expectations generated by shifts in peoples’ intersectional situation. Starting from this perspective, it studies how both institutional politics and real and virtual everyday spaces have been transformed into arenas where those who have lost or fear losing privileges and positions confront those who have gained or hope to gain new rights and standing within existing hierarchies. The book combines timely themes and approaches: critical research on social inequalities, relations between capitalism and democracy, political activism. Politically, it presents a comprehensive diagnosis of the advance of the far right and can contribute to nurturing progressive strategies to react to these threats. Although based on cutting-edge theoretical debates, the book is written in easily accessible language that can be understood by a broad readership.

Im Ausgang von einer Untersuchung der Beziehungen zwischen antirassistischen Bewegungen in Brasilien und in den USA thematisiert dieser Band die Paradoxien einer transnationalen Politik von unten. Im Zentrum des Interesses stehen demokratietheoretische und soziologische Fragestellungen, die mit Hilfe dreier Theorieansätze diskutiert werden: Habermas'' Ausführungen zur postnationalen Konstellation, die Theorie der reflexiven Moderne von Giddens und Beck sowie die soziologische Rezeption der Postcolonial Studies. Durch fundierte empirische Arbeit und präzise Theoriekritik arbeitet die Studie gegen den »Mainstream« eine konstruktiv dezentrierte soziologische Perspektive aus, in der sich die globale Gesellschaftsordnung jenseits epistemologischer Eurozentrismen zeigt. Das Buch schlägt damit eine Brücke zwischen den Diskursen der Cultural bzw. Postcolonial Studies auf der einen Seite und der Soziologie auf der anderen Seite.

Hay formas de la desigualdad que el coeficiente de Gini no puede mostrar. Son las que explican las diferentes experiencias de la pobreza que atraviesa alguien si es mujer u hombre, si es nativo o migrante, si es de origen indígena, si vive en una zona contaminada por las industrias cercanas, si nació en un país de ingresos altos o con menos recursos, si practica una religión minoritaria, si vive en un país con una historia de segregación étnica.Desde hace algunas décadas se viene abriendo paso una perspectiva académica que invita a revitalizar y complejizar el análisis de las desigualdades, a pensarlas en plural, entrelazadas y operando a escala global, más allá de la mera distribución del ingreso, los niveles de educación y las posiciones en el mercado de trabajo.Este libro es un compendio actualizado de esa perspectiva analítica renovada. Los trabajos que aquí se presentan indagan en el revés de la trama de las desigualdades, describen las formas concretas en que privan de bienestar y derechos a millones de personas en el continente y registran las estrategias de resistencia que muchas de ellas despliegan. Muestran cómo, a pesar del avance que implicaron las políticas compensatorias en varios países de la región a comienzos del siglo XXI, las distancias sociales en términos de oportunidades, habilidades valoradas y poder se mantienen e incluso se amplían en nuestros pueblos hasta hoy.Este libro da cuenta, además, de una tendencia que las miradas restringidas a las fronteras nacionales y las estadísticas suelen pasar por alto: las políticas que algunos países implementan contra las desigualdades están inmersas en la dinámica global de la economía capitalista, que indefectiblemente tiende a desigualar.
