Racial Capitalism: The View from India

​

​

​

​

My work engages with conversations amongst racial capitalism scholars by examining processes whereby Indian labor emerged as a distinct category of colonial labor in a world of stereotypes around African, Indian, Asian, Native American, and White workers. I also examine the role of particular genres of difference in South Asia that facilitated the spread of capital across the rural landscape.
