In this interview, guest editor Patrick Lyons discusses the concept of racial capitalism with Françoise Vergès. The interview begins with a question concerning Vergès's relationship to Robinson's Black Marxism , and after a detour through her political biography, addresses subjects including the status of racial capitalism in contemporary French politics, the global concept of the "Racial Capitalocene," the politics of race, gender, and waste in Vergès' current work, and racialized police violence.
