Sinopsis

Modern history is marked by a relentless sequence of upheavals―health, ecological, financial, humanitarian, and beyond. Far from being temporary disruptions, these events reveal a paradox: they are not anomalies, but enduring features of a system governed through perpetual instability. This form of governance sustains and reinforces racial and patriarchal capitalism._x000D_ _x000D_ Examining the mechanisms of crisis sheds light on the necropolitics of power―the ways states exert control over life itself. The language of crisis often obscures the systemic oppression underlying these events, legitimizing the erosion of rights and freedoms while intensifying surveillance, profiling, and arbitrary arrests. Black and racialized people, Indigenous communities, as well as refugees and migrants are frequently among those most impacted._x000D_ _x000D_ Through an analysis of diverse examples―healthcare, migration, Indigenous rights, academic freedom, and Islamophobia―this work delves into the construction and rhetoric of “crisis.” It explores how populist and supremacist ideologies shape public discourse and perpetuate patterns of visibility and ignorance, with profound sociological effects on marginalized communities._x000D_ _x000D_ The English and French editions, each with different content and authors, complete one another.

The pandemic, which represents “an organic crisis of capitalism” (McKay, 2023), underscored the need to question the notion of crisis, and more specifically its effects on marginalized, migrant and racialized populations. Indeed, while the world was living through the rhythm of this crisis, other “crises” of different magnitudes were increasing or recurring in the four corners of the globe: political, social and economic crisis in Venezuela; “security” crisis (Grinand, 2021) in Haiti; “mental health” crisis (Colly, 2021) in Lebanon; never-ending migration crises (Carastathis et al 2018; Crawley 2016; Jeandesboz and Pallister-Wilkins 2016), whether in Greece, on the Polish border, in the Mediterranean, in Calais and the English Channel, in Venezuela, or on the roads of Central and South America; an anti-gas pipeline blockade crisis in Canada; economic and humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and Yemen; climate crises; “academic freedom crisis” in the United States, Canada and France.
