Race and power / Gargi Bhattacharyya (2002)

Titre : Race and power : global racism in the twenty-first century / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gargi Bhattacharyya ; John Gabriel ; Stephen Small Editeur : London : Routledge Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 186 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-21970-9 Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Reviewing cutting-edge debates around racial politics and the culture and economy of globalization, this book draws together a wide range of important contemporary debates in a clear and concise way for undergraduate students. Far from concluding that racism is over, the authors contend that the forces of globalization inhabit older cultures of racial division in order to safeguard the economic interests of the privileged. Arguing that the unspoken culture of whiteness informs much that passes in the name of globalization, the book suggests that we are witnessing a reformulation of economic relations around global racisms. Alongside these shifts in economic relations, racialized identities evolve to encompass mixed heritages and mixed cultures both in personal identities and in lifestyle choices. This is one of the few texts that concentrates on the theory of race rather than politics. It looks at race in global terms, and at 'whiteness' as a part of ethnic studies. Cote SEXSI : R.BHA.01

Rethinking Racial Capitalism: Questions of Reproduction and Survival / Gargi Bhattacharyya (2018)

Titre : Rethinking Racial Capitalism: Questions of Reproduction and Survival Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gargi Bhattacharyya, Auteur Editeur : London, New York : Rowman & Littlefield International Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 206 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-78348-885-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : R- Races, migrations et postcolonialisme Résumé : How has capitalism created or enhanced racism? In what ways do the violent histories of slavery and empire continue to influence the allocation of global resources? Rethinking Racial Capitalism: Questions of Reproduction and Survival proposes a return to analyses of racial capitalism - the capitalism that is inextricably linked with histories of racist expropriation - and argues that it is only by tracking the interconnections between changing modes of capitalism and racism that we can hope to address the most urgent challenges of social injustice. It considers the continuing impact of global histories of racist expropriation on more recent articulations of capitalism, with a particular focus on the practices of racial capitalism, the continuing impact of uneven development, territory and border-marking, the place of reproductive labour in sustaining racial capitalism, the marketing of diversity as a consumer pleasure and the creation of supposedly 'surplus' populations.
