Description

Remaindered Life by Neferti X. M. Tadiar offers a new perspective on global capitalism and its impact on our lives. The author explores how capitalist accumulation relies on producing disposable lives, and how certain groups of people have developed alternative ways of living that exceed this distinction. Tadiar examines the lives of migrant workers, refugees, criminalized communities, urban slum dwellers, and dispossessed Indigenous people, as well as artists and filmmakers in the Global South. By focusing on these "remaindered life-practices", she reveals how they challenge dominant protocols of living and offer a new horizon for rethinking our global mode of life. This book provides a fresh conceptual framework for understanding the complexities of globalization and its effects on human existence.
