This roundtable addresses the racial and settler violences that install and reproduce capitalist modes of production, valuation, and politics in North America. Bringing together scholars working across the long durée of North American capitalism, our roundtable seeks to trouble key tenants in the study of racial capitalism. First, as our title indicates, we argue that work on racial capitalism still inadequately engages and leaves untheorized the settler colonial project of which chattel slavery was a part from the very start of the transatlantic trade, just as contemporary theorizations of resistance to racial capitalism often build upon conceptions of “land,” “labor,” and “race” that settler dispossession seeks to naturalize and universalize in our time. Second, by bringing together scholars working in eras of capitalism rarely thought together-such as the 17th century British transatlantic trade, 19th century American antebellum and postbellum plantation capitalism, and twenty-first century digital and financial capitalism-we are interested in thinking about the ongoing necessity of racial and settler violences across phases of capital that traditional and disciplinary forms of periodization obscure and miss. In this sense our roundtable rethinks Marx’s own arguments about so-called original or primitive accumulation by suggesting that racial and settler violences are so “original” to capital, it is not their “overcoming” that capital seeks but the conditions for their repeated assertion and expansion. Talking across periods, locations, and racial formations, and indigenous, diasporic, and racialized communities, the panel will take up a series of questions, topics, and themes that require new epistemes, ones that allow us to connect the archives of settler colonialism and the making of the African diaspora to Marx’s own accounts of capital’s origins, that narrate post-slavery emancipation as ushering forth not a “freedom” once again denied by antiblackness, but new logics of black people as surplus populations subject to containment or elimination in a settler colonial order, that impede the recursivity of dispossession through grounded relationalities, and that point towards forms of resistance and relations that contest the rights-based violences of today’s financialization of racial settler capital.
