Based on these proposals in this book, we start from conceiving inequalities from a multidimensional perspective (Reygadas 2004, 2008), intersectional and situated in the diverse Latin American and Caribbean temporal spatialities (Vommaro 2017a,b). Within this conception conigured from the plot of the diverse existing inequalities, the different chapters will focus on the common and joint character of the social devices of production and reproduction of inequalities, which include diverse dimensions (Reygadas 2004; Kessler 2014; Pérez Sainz 2014; Saraví 2015; Dubet 2015; Therborn 2015). For Douglas Massey (2007) inequality is underpinned by two prior processes: the assignment of people to different social categories, and the institutionalization of practices that allocates resources unequally to those categories. Many of these dimensions operate in a routine and inadvertent manner in the processes of production and reproduction of social inequalities (Lamont et al. 2014; Saraví 2019: 81).
