The contributors to Colonial Racial Capitalism consider
anti-Blackness, human commodification, and slave labor alongside
the history of Indigenous dispossession and the uneven development
of colonized lands across the globe. They demonstrate the
co-constitution and entanglement of slavery and colonialism from
the conquest of the New World through industrial capitalism to
contemporary financial capitalism. Among other topics, the essays
explore the historical suturing of Blackness and Black people to
debt, the violence of uranium mining on Indigenous lands in Canada
and the Belgian Congo, how municipal property assessment and waste
management software encodes and produces racial difference, how
Puerto Rican police crackdowns on protestors in 2010 and 2011 drew
on decades of policing racially and economically marginalized
people, and how historic sites in Los Angeles County narrate the
Mexican-American War in ways that occlude the war's imperialist
groundings. The volume's analytic of colonial racial capitalism
opens new frameworks for understanding the persistence of violence,
precarity, and inequality in modern society. Contributors. Joanne
