We start by positioning our concept of raced finance within a set of conceptual categories: racial capitalism, race, and racialization, drawing inspiration from @maliniranga.bsky.social, Nikhil Pal Singh, @tilley101.bsky.social, @robbieshilliam.bsky.social, @ulasince.bsky.social and others 3/n

New article! How is finance ‘raced’, and why is this the case? With what consequences for our understandings of race, finance, and capitalism? To explore this, we develop a 'raced finance' analytic, grounded in political economy and racial capitalism debates. Link 👇🏾and 🧵:

My favourite bit about ethnonationalist Matt Goodwin complaining that he lost to Muslim sectarianism is that Muslims voted for a party led by a gay Jewish man. Sectarianism eh.

West Papua is being erased at gunpoint. Indonesian National Armed Forces are deployed not to protect forests or people, but to clear rainforests, secure bulldozers, silence Indigenous resistance, and turn one of Earth’s last intact ecosystems into sugar, rice, and biofuel fields.
