Klappentext zu „The Futures of Racial Capitalism “
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, they reveal 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.

Pressezitat
'Gargi Bhattacharyya is one of our greatest public intellectuals. The Futures of Racial Capitalism is gripping in its exposition and profound in its insights - another landmark text in the author's 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 capitalism's always adapting assault on our very capacity to be together.'
Sivamohan Valluvan, University of Warwick
'Bhattacharyya isn't interested in having the last word or winning an argument. 'I've done my best to point out the shapes in the water,' she writes modestly ... but it's important work.'
