Beskrivning
Current conjunctures of racial capitalism in Germany are characterized by unsettling legal, logistical, and infrastructural transformations. This book considers these developments set in motion after the autonomous arrival of refugees in 2015 as part of a reconfiguration of the European asylum regime and as expressive of broader crises in the reproduction and circulation of workforces. It examines how racialised workers’ differential inclusion into workfare and work shapes contingent and fragmented labour relations and analyses how they negotiate logistical constraints designed to confine, categorise and circulate their labour. By foregrounding refugees' infrapolitics and labour struggles, it shows how their decisions, mobilities and refusals contest racialised coercions, inequalities, and divisions while asserting alternative relations of solidarity. Drawing on Black radical traditions, critical and autonomous approaches to migration and ethnographic inquiry, it offers an empirically grounded account of everyday resistance within a contemporary logistical racial capitalism.

‘This is a remarkable book. Mouna Maaroufi takes migration as a privileged vantage point from which to investigate the contemporary transformations of capitalism. By foregrounding migrants’ struggles and political agency, she offers an incisive analysis of logistics, racialization, and labour that is as politically compelling as it is intellectually sophisticated. A much-needed book for an age haunted by resurgent racism and anti-migrant backlash.’– Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna'As a theoretical framework, ‘racial capitalism’ remains both highly productive and, at times, unnervingly underspecified. In this incisive study, Mouna Maaroufi traces current conjunctures and transformations of racial capitalism through an empirically grounded and theoretically generative engagement with migration regimes, labour markets, and the increasing centrality of supply chains and logistics to contemporary capitalism. Building on the perspectives of refugees and migrants, and exploring the potentialities and challenges of antiracist struggles and solidarities, the book not only makes a vital contribution to an analytic of racial capitalism but insists on the everyday forms of collective refusal that any critical theory of racial capitalism needs to centre.'– Robin Celikates, Freie Universität Berlin
