SUMMARY:Play - Chinese Republicans
DESCRIPTION:Coming to Roundabout this winter\, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin\, directed by Chay Yew.  \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.   \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice\, and tells a truly American story.

SUMMARY:Situating Racial Capitalism: South African Genealogies\, Chinese Difference
DESCRIPTION:Since the turn of the millennium\, the return of the People’s Republic of China to the African continent has been framed as a neocolonial scramble or revival of south-south cooperation. Drawing from ethnographic research on Chinese capitalist projects in Johannesburg\, Huang recasts these relations of power as racial capitalism in a global moment of Chinese ascendance. Drawing from Reconfiguring Racial Capitalism\, in this talk\, Huang provides an overview of racial capitalism’s travels across South Africa and North America and illustrates how Chinese racial accumulation takes shape through the exploitation of “Black labor” (heigong) and the circulation of surplus. The ethnography points to racial capitalist formations beyond North American contexts\, urging a deprovincialization and recalibration of critical understandings of race\, capitalism\, and empire in the twenty-first ‘Chinese Century.’ \nSpeaker: Minwei Huang
