This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book brings together a range of ideas and theories to arrive at a deeper understanding of inequality in Latin America and its complex realities. To so, it addresses questions such as: What are the origins of inequality in Latin America? How can we create societies that are more equal in terms of income distribution, gender equality and opportunities? How can we remedy the social divide that is making Latin America one of the most unequal regions on earth? What are the roles played by market forces, institutions and ideology in terms of inequality? In this book, a group of global experts gathered by the Institute for the Integration of Latin America and the Caribbean (INTAL), part of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), show readers how various types of inequality, such as economical, educational, racial and gender inequality have been practiced in countries like Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico and many others through the centuries. Presenting new ideas, new evidence, and new methods, the book subsequently analyzes how to move forward with second-generation reforms that lay the foundations for more egalitarian societies. As such, it offers a valuable and insightful guide for development economists, historians and Latin American specialists alike, as well as students, educators, policymakers and all citizens with an interest in development, inequality and the Latin American region.

Exploring indigenous life projects in ongoing encounters with extractivism in the Andes and Amazonia, the present open access volume provides ethnographic analyses of indigenous politics, perspectives and worlds. The authors discuss how current turbulences actualise questions of indigeneity, difference and ontological dynamics, examining the reactions (from resistance to mediation of the extralocal), consequences (from anticipation to rubble) and materials (from fossil fuel to water) diversely related to extractivism. How can Amerindian strategies to preserve localised communities in extractivist contexts contribute to ways of thinking otherwise?
