Abstract

[This collection brings together revised and expanded versions of select papers discussed at the conference on Urban Inequalities: Ethnographic Insights (Corinth 2019). Leading anthropological thinkers and fellow ethnographically committed social scientists eschew the conceptual confusion between equality—of opportunity, of access, of the right to compete for whatever goal one chooses to pursue—and levelling. The discussions develop in the belief that old and emerging forms of social and economic inequality in urban settings need to be addressed on the ground and in depth, as does the machinery that operates behind oppression to sustain power and inequality. This collective effort is intended to produce an in-depth understanding of the empirical processes that mark this greatly varied and theoretically complex field of enquiry across different settings, helping to address comparatively urban socio-economic, cultural and political forms of inequality.]
