The Power of the Badge: Sheriffs and Inequality in the United States
The context of struggle: Racial capitalism and political praxis in South Africa
The South African critique of racial capitalism was developed during the struggle against apartheid, as Black South Africans engaged in urgent debates about how to understand the system they were fighting and how to win liberation for all. Rather than arguing that capitalism has always been racial, South African radicals developed a conjunctural analysis of racial capitalism with attention to time and space. In this article, we focus on the work …

From Graduate Practicum to Activist Research Collective
The Policing in Chicago Research Group (PCRG) is an activist research collective composed of faculty and graduate students at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We conduct useful and accessible research on policing in support of campaigns organized by abolitionist social movements in Chicago. Beginning as a two-semester graduate research practicum, the PCRG has transitioned to an activist research collective. In this roundtable discussion, si…
J ohannesburg
Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa and the economic hub of the Southern African region. Established as a mining camp in 1886 near the gold deposits of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg grew rapidly into a major urban center. After 1948, Johannesburg was central to efforts by the apartheid regime to engineer segregated urban spaces. The city was also key for struggles against apartheid, including the spread of labor‐ and community‐base…

Neoliberal Colonization in the West Bank
In this article, I propose a framework for analyzing context-specific relationships between neoliberal restructuring and simultaneous efforts to reorganize racial and colonial domination. To do so, I explore the articulation between colonization and neoliberalization in the West Bank with a focus on the Bethlehem region. Drawing on qualitative interviews and ethnographic research, the article begins by examining the territorial fragmentation of t…

Beyond the state: Policing precariousness in South Africa and Palestine/Israel
This short comment on Loïc Wacquant's 'Marginality, Ethnicity, and Penality' begins by highlighting three of Wacquant's most important interventions. It then extends the analysis by drawing on research about urban marginality in South Africa and Palestine/Israel. Whereas Wacquant focuses on the state response to urban marginality, I suggest that it is important to look beyond the state to consider how other actors have responded to the growth of …
Rescaling White Space in Post‐apartheid Johannesburg
This paper traces three political mobilizations in the wealthy suburbs of Johannesburg: a boycott of redistributive tax policies, the creation of gated communities and residents’ associations, and the demand for residential city improvement districts (CIDs). I argue that state rescaling and networked governance are constituted through struggles over governmental power. I also argue for more attention to race in the political economy of scale. Str…
Policing in Johannesburg after apartheid
This paper traces the genealogy of the “double paradigm shift” that transformed policing in Johannesburg after apartheid: from public to private and from reactive to proactive. The emergence of a market for residential security services led to the growth of a private security industry and a reconfiguration of urban governance. Responding to a growing demand for “proactive” security services, private security companies have recently begun innovati…
