This analysis focuses on Mohsin Hamid's novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007), examining how in focalizing US racial formations through the lens of Pakistani new immigration and US-Pakistani neocolonial relations, the novel brings out the deep links between US racial forms and the global restructuring of capitalism after the 1970s and presses for new understandings of racial and postcolonial agency to reckon with these changes. Through its protagonist, the narrative insistently links financial developments in the metropolis to (under)developments in the South. In this way, the novel retools anti-colonial and anti-racist critique to better grapple with the global structures of the new imperialism, which works through “weapons of mass salvation” such as financial aid, liberalized immigration policies, and multicultural recognition, as much as through weapons of mass destruction such as structural adjustment, detention and deportation, and high-tech warfare.

Il souligne l'emergence d'un regime international des droits de l'homme. Il s'efforce de resituer le discours sur les droits de l'homme dans le contexte de l'apres-Guerre froide. Il examine le role des ONG et des medias dans le processus d'universalisation des droits de l'homme. Il denonce l'opposition entre relativisme culturel et universalisme. Il presente un certain nombre de crises globales qu'il confronte au projet universaliste.

They demonstrate the co-constitution and entanglement of slavery and colonialism from the conquest of the New World through industrial capitalism to contemporary financial capitalism. Among other topics, the essays explore the historical suturing of Blackness and Black people to debt, the violence of uranium mining on Indigenous lands in Canada and the Belgian Congo, how municipal property assessment and waste management software encodes and produces racial difference, how Puerto Rican police crackdowns on protestors in 2010 and 2011 drew on decades of policing racially and economically marginalized people, and how historic sites in Los Angeles County narrate the Mexican-American War in ways that occlude the war’s imperialist groundings. The volume’s analytic of colonial racial capitalism opens new frameworks for understanding the persistence of violence, precarity, and inequality in modern society.
