Dr. Denise Ferreira da Silva
Co-sponsored by GRSJ's Graduate Student Associa tion and the Faculty of Arts
Negative accumulation\, Denise Ferreira da Silva offers
\, invites a shift in thinking in line with the black and indigenous antico
lonial\, anticapitalist\, and anti-imperialist radical traditions. As an im
age\, it captures the trajectory of black and indigenous (of the Americas\,
Africa\, and Asia and the Pacific) persons and populations in the past fou
r hundred years or so. As such\, like the image of unpayable debt\, it supp
orts the statement that decolonization is the only appropriate descriptor f
or the goal of any ethico-political program designed to confront global cap
ital.
