What is Racial Capitalism? Presented by Reem Rattan (Communication Mixdown)
This is a five-part serializtion of the lecture, Introduction to Racial Capitalism, by Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis at Western Sydney University, Alana Lentin.
Part 1: Professor Lentin makes some introductory remarks about what racial capitalism is and is not, based on Gargi Bhattacharyya’s work in Rethinking Racial Capitalism. She then grounds the origins of racial capitalism in the work of South African anti-Apartheid Marxists.
Part 2: Professor Lentin introduces Cedric Robinson’s analysis of racial capitalism in his 1983 book Black Marxism.
Part 3: Professor Lentin looks at the gaps in Marxist thought on the centrality of race to capitalism and discusses Stuart Hall’s formulation of the relationship between race and class. She notes that this discussion is particularly useful because the idea that either class comes first or race does, is a debate that continues to animate activists today, leading to considerable and unproductive disagreements.
Part 4: Professor Lentin builds on Charisse Burden-Stelly’s writings on the particularity of racial capitalism in the United States as theorised by Black radical scholars such as Oliver Cromwell Cox, W.E.B. Du Bois, Claudia Jones, George Jackson and Ruth Wilson Gilmore whose focus on the super-exploitation of Black woman was a precursor to intersectionality theory.
Part 5: Professor Lentin emphasises the centrality of settler colonialism as the context for the elaboration of racial capitalism using Aileen Moreton-Robinson’s work on ‘the white possessive’ alongside other theorists’ work on property and dispossession. She concludes by considering one of the pressing arenas which racial capitalist analysis is clarifying -- the role played by so-called essential workers who ‘clean the world’ -- and asks what the coronavirus pandemic has taught us about what Burden-Stelly calls the gap between value and worth when it comes to the lives of mainly poor and negatively racialised people.
