Giovanni Arrighi

But this occurs through this constant reproduction of this category of nature, this racialized category of nature, which will eventually be exhausted.

So there are cycles, and I use Origi's work here, there are cycles of accumulation that Arrighi will talk about, reach moments of exhaustion and then are renewed by subsequent imperialist hegemon.

So each cycle reaches a point of exhaustion and then the next hegemon, so say the Dutch and then the British and then the Americans will be responsible for reorganizing this racialized nature, right? So like I will look at the 16th century, the Spanish, I look at three key sites of the 16th century.

And then I look in the 19th century at the British conquest of India and how it again, renews this appropriation of nature that reads out local practice and knowledge and the formation of these natures.
