Decolonial Perspectives on Entangled Inequalities

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This highly original volume is a much needed contribution to decolonial and postcolonial studies, as well as research on migration, (anti-)racism and socio-economic inequalities. Its' unique dialogue between studies from the Caribbean and Europe that all share a focus on decoloniality and neoliberal capitalism opens up both theoretical and methodological pathways for future research. The book is especially important in its insistence on the connections of economic, political, cultural, subjective and affective processes and in its impressive operationalization of this approach to a broad range of empirical studies from the Global South and the Global North.'-Suvi Keskinen, University of Helsinki, Finland 'This innovative book brings together leading and emergent authors to offer us an incisive decolonial perspective on a range of contemporary social processes. With astonishing breadth, geographical and thematic coverage, it puts a decolonial analysis centre stage to understand diverse social processes, from domestic work, to financialization, and refugee movements' - Umut Erel, The Open University, UK 'The book is absolutely an enjoyable read. Its methodological focus on colonial entanglement as historically produced, culturally reproduced and materializing in different local and specific contexts is important.' -Salla Tuori, Abo Akademi University, Finland Decolonial Perspectives on Entangled Inequalities is an intellectual contribution to the discourse on decoloniality. The anthology, which explores global connections that encompass Europe and the Caribbean, comprises a plurality of methodological approaches. It is dedicated to Kari Polanyi Levitt, whose essay sets the stage by offering a political economy/historical account of the transition of society from mercantilism to neoliberalism, examining the impact of the 2008 financial crisis in the process. -Linden F. Lewis Department of Sociology & Anthropology, Bucknell University. This volume is studded with a cutting-edge set of fascinating and rigorously analysed case studies from both the Caribbean and Europe that make empirical and analytical contributions on their own; yet, they also gain deeper traction when read and studied together comparatively under the insightful guidance of the editors. -Social and Economic Studies.
