Abstract

This paper explores the nexus connecting the social construction of racialized consciousness to capitalist exploitation and the related process of capitalist accumulation. Racism partly constitutes and ceaselessly alters capitalist exploitation and accumulation and vice versa. Struggles to end racism are argued to be distinct from struggle to end capitalist exploitation. Depending on their social conditions, the two kinds of struggles may support or conflict with one another. The paper concludes that racism and capitalist exploitation must be understood as distinct social processes, shaping each other in complex and contradictory ways.
