Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines the historical and contemporary manifestations of racial capitalism, particularly in Europe, exploring how racialization, colonization, and extraction have shaped capital accumulation and state power. It analyzes the enduring legacies of colonialism in constitutional systems, especially in the Caribbean, and investigates the role of racial capitalism in labor precarity, citizenship laws, and carceral state logic across various European contexts. The journal also addresses forms of embodied resistance, such as hunger strikes, in relation to anti-colonial struggles and political subjectivation.
