Economising the Gender Binary: Temporality and Displacement in Early Circum-Atlantic Racial Capitalism

Hamzić, Vanja

Abstract

This intervention addresses the lifeworlds of those unwilling trans-Atlantic labourers in their homelands of Greater Senegambia—that is, the territories of today’s Senegal, the Gambia, western Mali and lower Mauritania—as well as, very briefly, in the so-called ‘new world’ of colonial Louisiana. I am primarily interested in the temporality of this horrific displacement—in its violent, dispossessive modes that are such an abiding, essential feature of racial capitalism.
