Convivial Constellations in Latin America
Drawing on diverse theoretical perspectives on conviviality, this book considers the ways in which Latin America, a continent marked by deep inequalities, has managed to afford, create, sustain, and contest forms of living together with difference across time and space. Interdisciplinary in approach and presenting studies from various nations across the continent from the medieval period to the present day it considers the ways in which Latin America might contribute to our understanding of the relationship between inequality, difference, diversity, and sociability. As such, it will appeal to scholars of history, sociology, geography, anthropology, development studies, postcolonial and social theory with interests in Latin American studies, and in the contingencies and contradictions of living together in profoundly unequal societies.

Entangled Inequalities: Exploring Global Asymmetries
Series Editor: Srgio Costa, Freie Universitt Berlin, Germany
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 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.

Felipe Castro Gutirrez holds a MPhil in History and PhD in Anthropology from the Universidad Nacional Autnoma de Mxico. He has been an Invited Professor at the El Colegio de Michoacn, the Universit de Toulouse, and the Universidade de So Paulo. He is currently a titular research professor of the Instituto de Investigaciones Histricas at the Universidad Nacional Autnoma de Mxico and a member of Academia Mexicana de Ciencias. He also coordinates the seminar Sociedad Indiana about the social history of Hispano-American monarchies. He has written extensively on Mexico colonial ethnohistory and social history. His recent publications include Historia social de la Real Casa de Moneda de Mexico (2012) and the collection Los indios y las ciudades de la Nueva Espaa (2010). His research interests combine historical methodologies and themes with an anthropological perspective.
Fernando Baldraia concluded his undergraduate studies in History at the Universidade de So Paulo (USP) in 2003. However, it was his engagement in grass roots organizations in the periphery of Osasco (So Paulo) as well as his involvement with Afro-Brazilian culture that brought him to Germany, to work as assistant in a capoeira group. There, he obtained his Masters degree in Interdisciplinary Latin-American Studies at the Freie Universitt Berlin (2012) with a scholarship from the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. A doctoral degree, focusing on the Black Atlantic and recent Brazilian historiography of slavery, came soon afterwards in 2017, as a conclusion of his involvement in the International Research Training Group Between Spaces (FU Berlin). Currently, he lives back in Osascos periphery.
