2018 Eastern Division Presidential Address: Is Capitalism Necessarily Racist?
Briefly

In her pivotal address, Nancy Fraser contemplates the interrelation of capitalism and racism, positing that deeply rooted structures in capitalism perpetuate racial oppression and inequality.
Fraser argues that capitalism does not exist in a vacuum; rather, it coexists and interacts with social hierarchies, including race, gender, and class, complicating simplistic definitions of racism.
Through her research, Fraser highlights how economic systems of injustice not only reinforce racism but also undermine potential solidarity among marginalized groups, which affects overall social progress.
Fraser’s inquiry extends to how contemporary movements might address capitalism’s role in systemic oppression, framing the complexities of resistance in an interconnected sociopolitical landscape.
