The Futures of Racial Capitalism by Gargi Bhattacharyya (English) Hardcover Book

Description: The Futures of Racial Capitalism by Gargi Bhattacharyya Capitalism appears to be endlessly in crisis but without ever loosening its hold on our lives. New modes of racism and exclusion emerge, but the old ones never go away. We continue to struggle to live and survive in its wake but are unable, still now, to build commonality with each other. In this incisive book, Gargi Bhattacharyya revisits debates about racial capitalism and its violence through differentiation. Taking the four lenses of prisons, borders, debt and platforms, Bhattacharyya reveals how this moment of capitalist crisis positions humans as expendable, but differentially so, in a process that remakes longstanding racialized hierarchies. Uncovering practices and techniques embedded in the shifting processes of accumulation and state power, the chapters illuminate how value is extracted from populations through non-wage routes and indebtedness. This engaging introduction to racial capitalism offers an interlocking and insightful analysis of capitalist renewal, essential for students and scholars interested in issues of race, racism and inequality.

The Futures of Racial Capitalism is gripping in its exposition and profound in its insights – another landmark text in the authors ongoing exploration of how we might build a more humane world."Arun Kundnani, author of What is Antiracism? "The Futures of Racial Capitalism, refusing the analytic comforts of historical continuity, reorders with signature intellectual openness the dismal puzzle that is racial capitalism. Bhattacharyya offers neither plea nor denunciation but an invitation to rearrange ourselves as a collective force against and beyond capitalisms always adapting assault on our very capacity to be together."Sivamohan Valluvan, University of Warwick"Bhattacharyya isnt interested in having the last word or winning an argument. Ive done my best to point out the shapes in the water, she writes modestly … but its important work."Earthbound Report "Bhattacharyyas book represents a significant effort to engage in a dialogue between Marxism, social reproduction and critical race theory, critiques of dominant narratives surrounding climate change and critical border studies. This dialogue is undertaken under the theoretical lens of racial capitalism."Ethnic and Racial Studies Journal Details ISBN1509543368 Author Gargi Bhattacharyya Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781509543366 Format Hardcover Imprint Polity Press Place of Publication Oxford Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-11-02 NZ Release Date 2023-11-02 Language English ISBN-10 1509543368 Publisher John Wiley and Sons Ltd Alternative 9781509543373 Audience Professional & Vocational Pages 224 DEWEY 330.112089 Publication Date 2023-10-27 UK Release Date 2023-10-27 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
