‘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.'
