THE SOCIAL LIFE OF ECONOMIC INEQUALITIES IN CON...

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.This edited volume examines how economic
processes have worked upon social lives and social realities in Latin America during the past
decades. Through tracing the effects of the neoliberal epoch into the era of the so-called pink
tide  the book seeks to understand to what extent the turn to the left at the start of the
millennium managed to challenge historically constituted configurations of inequality. A
central argument in the book is that in spite of economic reforms and social advances on a
range of arenas  the fundamental tenants of socio-economic inequalities have not been
challenged substantially. As several countries are now experiencing a return to right-wing
politics  this collection helps us better understand why inequalities are so entrenched in the
Latin American continent  but also the complex and creative ways that it is continuously
contested. The book directs itself to students  scholars and anyone interested in Latin America
economic anthropology  political anthropology  left-wing politics  poverty and socio-economic
inequalities.
