The interventions of Angela Mitropoulos (Citation2005; Citation2012) have also been crucial in bringing gender, national, and racial difference more centrally to bear on discussions of precarity.9.

Du Bois exemplified and indeed anticipates such an orientation. "Such a compassion (a disturbance of one's own being by one's relatedness) involves a recognition that one's own being is always already tied up with the being of others, and others not only in the present, but from the past as well. Our mood is never ours alone. And no person's being can be safeguarded against the being of others. Thus, Du Bois's response to 'being a problem' is not to somehow reinforce the ontology of blackness but to expand the sense of problematicity so that no ontology escapes it." (Flatley Citation2008, 116)
