When the ecological-crisis meets a stratified Earth. Geo-capitalism and the racialized Anthropocene

This contribution aims to deal with the current processes of global raciali- zation and racism. For a long time, researchers dealt with local dynamics and phenomena of racism often forgetting how global, large, planetary processes of exploitation, appropriation, and dispossession sculpt these dynamics at the local level. The link between local racisms and global processes of disposses- sion and deprivation seems now more plausible than ever, even in the case of new racisms rising up in many Western countries. The contribution investiga- tes the following aspects: • The Anthropocene as the unstable frame to understand the socio-ecological crisis. • The new stage in the process of human and natural resources government called as “racialized soveregneity”. • The decreasing of “natural fertility of capital” and the different strategies to cope with it. • Geo-capitalism, global racial formation, “systemic” racism, worldwide apartheid prospects: how semi-peripheries are experiencing new or re- newed forms of local racial regimes. • Trajectories of racialization in the frame of Anthropocene: causes of Earth system alteration, migrations as adaptation strategies, and losses of habitat. • The racialized body as the core of social manipulated reaction to global crisis. • The “racialized unequal exchange” as grounded on historical division of people in different subordinate races.
