There has been a resurgence of interest in debates about racial capitalism. This concept appears to open the possibility of remapping our connections to each other and comprehending the logics that keep us apart. As we witness ever greater numbers becoming vulnerable to unlivable lives, mass incarceration, changing state violences at the border and in the interior and the threat of disposability, we need to revisit ways of thinking that allow us to see each other.
