Provocation:

How do we think about redistribution alongside and against reparations and redress? What does it mean to imagine justice in the wake of mass expulsions, enclosure, and human disposability? What is the reach and relevance of terms such as racial capitalism and settler colonialism, which concatenate economic life with social difference, and/or spatialize inequality? Does the current landscape offer an opportunity to think redistribution more radically, i.e., a potential site of revolutionary capture in the wake of the collapse of the Keynesian consensus of the inter and post-war years in the wake of neoliberal ascendency?
