• Sommario/riassunto: D’abord publié en anglais en 1947, cet ouvrage romancé de l’anthropologue chinois Lin Yaohua (1910-2000) a marqué toute une génération de sinologues et de chercheurs. Non seulement c’est l’un des rares textes écrits par un autochtone sur le monde rural chinois avant l’arrivée du Parti communiste en 1949, mais il emploie aussi un moyen original – la fiction – pour dépeindre la structure sociale la plus fondamentale en Chine : son « système familial ». On y découvre que la notion chinoise de « famille – clan/lignage », bien différente de la famille occidentale « nucléaire », dépasse le seul groupe patrilinéaire et s’appuie fortement sur les femmes. L’histoire, centrée sur la relation entre deux beaux-frères – l’un étant marié avec la sœur de l’autre –, offre un exemple éclairant de cette paire primordiale qui a été au cœur de bien des travaux anthropologiques. Cet ouvrage disponible pour la première fois en français donne ainsi une image saisissante de la profondeur et de l’étendue des liens de parenté chinois, nous menant à questionner notre monde moderne désenchanté où la famille s’est réduite à peau de chagrin.

• Sommario/riassunto: 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.
