The Handbook on Sociology of Inequalities in BRICS Countries explores the multifaceted nature of social inequality across the five BRICS nations: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. With a combined population exceeding 3.22 billion, which accounts for nearly 40% of the global population, these countries present a rich tapestry of social dynamics and disparities.

Through a collection of scholarly contributions, the Handbook on Sociology of Inequalities in BRICS Countries provides valuable insights into the systemic barriers faced by marginalized groups in these nations. It also examines the implications of these inequalities on broader societal development and cohesion.

In addition to theoretical frameworks, the book offers empirical case studies that illustrate the lived experiences of individuals affected by inequality. By presenting a comprehensive overview of the sociological landscape in BRICS countries, the Handbook on Sociology of Inequalities in BRICS Countries serves as an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of social inequality in a rapidly changing world.
