Departing from classical approaches to the study of social inequalities between individuals and social classes within particular national settings, this series emphasises the production and reproduction of inequalities across borders, as well as the multiplicity of categories - whether ’race’, ’sex’ or ’nationality’ amongst others - according to which contemporary inequalities are shaped. Entangled Inequalities: Exploring Global Asymmetries constitutes a forum and a catalyst for discussing recent advancements in inequality research from a transnational, global and intersectional perspective, highlighting the fact that social inequalities are always the product of both global interpenetrations and of complex intersections between different social categorisations. The series therefore welcomes monographs and edited volumes across the social sciences that deal with inequalities from an ’entangled’ perspective - with an intersectional or a transnational focus, or both.
