%X Desigualdades sociais foram tradicionalmente investigadas no ambito do Estado-na  o, privilegiando-se as diferen as de classe e a perspectiva sincr nica. Isto 谷: ainda que a investiga  o especializada, sobretudo na Am谷rica Latina, venha se dedicando j芍 h芍 algumas d谷cadas a estudar os nexos entre classe e outras formas de classifica  o social (ra a, g那nero etc.), s車 muito recentemente registram-se avan os substantivos na investiga  o sobre os processos hist車ricos e os nexos globais que configuram as desigualdades observadas num pa赤s determinado. O presente artigo, em sua primeira parte, oferece um panorama desses avan os, tra ando um marco anal赤tico para o estudo de desigualdades sociais a partir de interdepend那ncias hist車ricas, geogr芍ficas e relativas 角s diferentes formas de classifica  o social. A segunda parte aplica as refer那ncias anal赤ticas desenvolvidas ao estudo das desigualdades que afetam a popula  o afrodescendente na Am谷rica Latina. Social inequalities have conventionally been investigated as synchronous processes occurring within the contours of national borders and connected to the concept of class. As a consequence established scholarship, especially in Latin America, has given little attention to the historical dimensions and global entanglements between class and other social classifications that have shaped existing inequalities. A number of recent contributions have attempted to correct these analytical shortfalls from a variety of perspectives. In order to overcome methodological nationalism, a first group of contributions has focused on the interconnections between national and global structures of inequality, showing how inequalities correspond to entanglements between social processes at different geographical levels: local, national, global. A second group of contributions has investigated the relationship between different axes of stratification, focusing on how social inequalities emerge at the intersections between different social ascriptions, particularly those of race, class, gender and ethnicity. This paper presents a brief survey of the debates in both fields as well as a set of resources for overcoming the current deficits in the research on interdependent inequalities. In order to illustrate how some of these resources operate analytically, the second half of the paper discusses the case of social inequalities affecting Afro-descendants in Latin America.
