Rather than using frameworks of “human rights” or “ethnic conflict,”
this talk considers the economic factors that have produced protest and
violence in Northwest China (Xinjiang). Using a Marxist mode of
analysis, it argues that the material and digital enclosures of Uyghurs
can be thought of as part of a process of “original accumulation.”
Because Uyghurs have been framed by state authorities as a threatening,
yet detainable, subject population, their existence offers technology
companies space and funding that is unavailable in other parts of China
to develop new technologies. These new technologies can then be used to
assist in the “legal” theft of their labor when they are assigned to
work in unfree conditions. Building on analysis of labor exploitation in
Eastern China and forms of development in other spaces in China, the
talk describes the way state power is channeled through infrastructure
and institutions to intensify ethno-racialization and produce a
“reeducation labor regime” at a frontier of global capitalism.
