DESCRIPTION:The CHRLP invites you to a talk by O'Brien Fellow in Residence 
 Ranabir Samaddar. We share the article he will be discussing here [.docx]
 \n\nAbstract\n\nMost writings on refugee economy or the immigrant economy 
 refer to changes in the immigrant labour absorption policies of the Wester
 n governments. In these writings\, the refugee economy or the immigrant ec
 onomy never features directly\; refugees are seen as economic actors in th
 e market. But we do not get a full picture of why capitalism in late twent
 ieth or early twenty first century needs these refugee or immigrant labour
  as economic actors.\n\nThe organic link between the immigrant as an econo
 mic actor and the global capitalist economy seems to escape the analysis i
 n these writings. Yet\, if immigration policies produce precarious labour\
 , this has general significance for the task of theorising the migrant as 
 living labour. The question of the production of living labour is importan
 t because it puts in a critical perspective the necessity of the states an
 d the international regime of protection to synchronise the economic and t
 he political strategies of protection.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nRanabir Sam
 addar belongs to the critical school of thinking and is considered as one 
 of the foremost theorists in the field of migration and forced migration s
 tudies. His much-acclaimed The Politics of Dialogue (2004) was a culminati
 on of his long work on justice\, rights\, and peace.\n\nHis later writings
 \, The Materiality of Politics (2007) and The Emergence of the Political S
 ubject (2010)\, signaled a new turn in critical postcolonial thinking. His
  co-authored work on new town and new forms of accumulation Beyond Kolkata
 : Rajarhat and the Dystopia of Urban Imagination (2014) takes urban studie
 s forward in the context of post-colonial capitalism.\n
