Abstract

ANDIA, Tatiana  and  CHOREV, Nitsan. Inequalities and Social Resilience in Times of COVID-19. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2021, n.78, pp.2-13.  Epub Sep 14, 2021. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res78.2021.01.

COVID-19 has exposed, reproduced, and created new inequalities in Latin America and the world. In this introductory paper, we discuss the impact of extant inequities on vulnerability to COVID-19 but we also identify new, and some unexpected, vulnerabilities. We emphasize vulnerabilities to the disease as well as vulnerabilities to policies and other responses in the fight against COVID-19. Building on insights from Peter Hall and Michele Lamont’s work on social resilience, we draw on the papers of this special issue to identify the important role of the state in addressing vulnerabilities and discuss the types of social resilience that vulnerable groups have turned to in their response to COVID-19.

Keywords : COVID-19; inequality; Latin America; resilience; vulnerability..
