David Kazanjian is examining dispossession in colonial New England and Yucatán. Focusing on court cases of indentured and enslaved Afro-diasporans, he considers how racial capitalism works not simply to take possessions like labor and land from exploited subjects, but also to possess or invest such subjects with racial being, and how Afro-diasporans responded by repurposing race.
