Paperback. What does freedom mean without, and despite, the state? Ida Danewid argues that state power is central to racial capitalism's violent regimes of extraction and accumulation. Tracing the global histories of four technologies of state violence: policing, bordering, wastelanding, and reproductive control, she excavates an antipolitical archive of anarchism that stretches from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to the borderlands of Europe, the poisoned landscape of Ogoniland, and the queer lifeworlds of Delhi. Thinking with a rich set of scholars, organisers, and otherworldy dreamers, Danewid theorises these modes of refusal as a utopian worldmaking project which seeks not just better ways of being governed, but an end to governance in its entirety. In a time where the state remains hegemonic across the LeftRight political spectrum, Resisting Racial Capitalism calls on us to dream bolder and better in order to (un)build the world anew. What does freedom mean without, and despite, the state? Focusing on the relation between state violence and racial capitalism, this book excavates an antipolitical worldmaking project which seeks not just better ways of being governed, but an end to governance in its entirety.
