Global Inequality: Anthropological Insights

"This is a welcome anthropological college textbook on surveying global human inequalities across different
world regions, nation-states, and local cultural responses and initiatives. It accessibly discusses a complex and
important subject now constantly studied and increasingly debated for creating new inequalities." R. S. Khare, Anthropos

"Drawing from the fields of anthropology, economics, history, political science, philosophy, and more, McGill weaves together a tapestry to support the book’s overarching argument: inequality is real, there is no primary form of inequality, and inequalities are multiple and overlapping."

Leo McCann, University of York, Agric. and Human Values, vol 35

This highly readable and original volume is an essential addition to the literature on inequality. Providing ethnographic depth and bringing together wide-ranging anthropological perspectives in an area often dominated by economics and political science, McGill shows how inequalities are produced, sustained, challenged, and conceptualized by people worldwide. Sean T. Mitchell, Rutgers University
