Challenging the assumption that the capitalist transformation
includes a radical break with the past, this edited volume traces
how historically older forms of social inequality are transformed
but persist in the present to shape the social structure of
contemporary societies in the global South. Each social collective
comprises an interpretation of itself - including the meaning of
life, the concept of a human person, and the notion of a
collective. This volume studies the interpretation that various
social collectives have of themselves. This interpretation is
referred to as social ontology. All chapters of the edited volume
focus on the relation between social ontology and structures of
inequality. They argue that each society comprises several
historical layers of social ontology that correspond to layers of
inequality, which are referred to as sociocultures. Thereby, the
volume explains why and how structures of inequality differ between
contemporary collectives in the global South, even though all of
them seem to have similar structures, institutions, and economies.
The volume is aimed at academics, students and the interested
public looking for a novel theorization of social inequality
pertaining to social collectives in the global South.
