SUMMARY:Book Launch with David McNally - Slavery and Capitalism: A New Marxist History
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, December 6th\, David McNally will be in Ottawa to discuss his latest book\, Slavery and Capitalism: A New Marxist History. He will be in conversation with Adrian Harewood\, Professor of Journalism at Carleton.  \nTime: 7-8 PM (Doors open at 6:30 PM)\nLocation: The Atelier of the Mauril-Bélanger Social Innovation Workshop\, at Saint Paul University. The Atelier is accessible from 95 Clegg Street\, the street adjacent to the University.\nOrganized by Octopus Books (Copies of the book will be available for purchase at $47.99.) RSVP: https://octopusbooks.ca/events/3862520251206\nCo-sponsored by the Atelier of the Mauril- Bélanger Social Innovation Workshop and the institute of Political Economy at Carleton University \nAbout the Book\nSlavery and Capitalism provides the first systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery. \nKarl Marx’s writings on enslavement and labor have fallen out of favor among historians\, but David McNally injects new life into them. Slavery and Capitalism gives the first systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery—using colonial travel literature\, planter records and diaries\, and slave narratives—to support the provocative claim for enslaved labor in the plantation system as capitalist commodity production. \nWeaving together history\, political economy\, and radical abolitionism\, McNally demonstrates that plantation slaves formed a modern working class. Unlike those scholars who insist that enslaved people were too sensible to set their sights on liberty\, he highlights the self-activity of enslaved people fighting for their freedom and reframes their resistance as labor struggles over production and reproduction\, with significant implications for US and Atlantic history and for understanding the roots of racial capitalism. \nAbout the Author\nDavid McNally is Cullen Distinguished Professor of History and Business at the University of Houston\, where he directs the Project on Race and Capitalism. He is the author of seven previous books and more than sixty scholarly articles. David is also the founding editor of Spectre\, a journal of Marxist theory\, strategy and analysis. \nReviews\n“With rich and well-chosen evidence\, McNally establishes the ways in which the history of enslavement is best understood within Marxist categories. He writes of unspeakable exploitation and human drama in a frame that never loses track of constant resistance.”—David Roediger\, author of An Ordinary White: My Antiracist Education \n“David McNally’s deft application of Marx’s theory and method not only unearths the hidden dynamics of slavery’s political economy but radically broadens our understanding of modern capitalism and its class struggles. The result: a new history of slavery that centers the enslaved—the chattel proletariat—not as ‘constant capital’ or fungible cogs in the machine but as its gravediggers.”—Robin D. G. Kelley\, author of Race Rebels: Culture\, Politics\, and the Black Working Class \n“Slavery and Capitalism powerfully employs Marxist categories to provide new insights into the capitalist nature of New World slavery\, the lives and labor of the enslaved\, and\, fundamentally\, their resistance.”—Pepijn Brandon\, Professor of Global Economic and Social History\, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, and lead investigator of Amsterdam’s historic connections to slavery \n“What a remarkable book. Grown from the theoretical soil of C.L.R. James\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, and Sylvia Wynter\, Slavery and Capitalism nourishes readers with example after thrilling example of how to think dialectically. McNally’s archival evidence tells stories he uses to make a compelling\, cumulative argument about class composition centered on the chattel proletariat. Suggesting critical elements of internationalism\, the book invites methodological extension and substantive debate to connect his cases to the vast South Atlantic world where most enslaved people lived\, worked\, and fought. Fresh historical understanding of past social reality can refocus contemporary political analysis of racial capitalism. McNally sharpens dynamic awareness of highly differentiated sectors and regions of value production and social reproduction—the overlapping and interlocking realities where people self-consciously make freedom by remaking place.”—Ruth Wilson Gilmore\, author of Abolition Geography \n“This is that rare object—writing that is scholarly and gripping\, crammed with insight and the engaging detail of the best history writing. Reframing the non-debate about race and class to return to questions of agency\, McNally reminds us that the question is how to become free.”—Gargi Bhattacharyya\, author of Rethinking Racial Capitalism: Questions of Reproduction and Survival
