Karl Marx, “The British Rule in India,” in Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels,
On Colonialism
(Honolulu: University Press of the Pacific, 2001), 41–42. This is also the underlying thrust of Marx and Engels’s famous assertion in
The Communist Manifesto:
“The bourgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilization. The cheap prices of its commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it forces the barbarians’ intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate. It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilization into their midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In one word it creates the world after its own image” (

, ed. David McClelland [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987], 225). For a useful discussion of this aspect of Marx’s argument, see Aijaz Ahmad,

This rigidly unilinear understanding of historical development began to shift significantly in Marx’s work after the collapse of the European labor movement following the defeat of the Paris Commune in 1871. It was at this point that Marx began to again turn his attention to the study of non-Western societies. Marx scholars have tended to identify three areas of Marx’s late writings (1872–83) that reflect this shift in perspective: (1) editorial changes introduced by Marx to the 1872–75 French edition of
Capital
, vol. 1, that strip the primitive accumulation thesis of any prior suggestion of unilinearism; (2) a cluster of late writings on Russia that identify the Russian communal village as a potential launching point for socialist development; and (3) the extensive (but largely ignored) ethnological notebooks produced by Marx between 1879 and 1882. See, in particular, Kevin Anderson, “Marx’s Late Writings on Non-Western and Pre-Capitalist Societies and Gender,”
Rethinking Marxism
14, no. 4 (2002): 84–96; and Gareth Stedman Jones, “Radicalism and the Extra-European World: The Case of Karl Marx,” in
Victorian Visions of Global Order: Empire and International Relations in Nineteenth-Century Political Thought
, ed. Duncan Bell, 186–214 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007). Although each of these three strands in Marx’s late scholarship are instructive in their own right, his 1872–75 French revisions to
Capital
are of particular interest for us here because of the specific focus paid to the primitive accumulation thesis. Marx referred to these revisions in a well-known 1877 letter he wrote to Russian radical N. K. Mikailovsky, in which he states that the “chapter on primitive accumulation”
should not
be read as a “historico-philosophical theory of the general course imposed
on all peoples
”; but rather as a historical examination of the “path by which,
in Western Europe
, the capitalist economic order emerged from the womb of the feudal economic order” (Karl Marx, “A Letter to N. K. Mikailovsky,” transcribed and reprinted in
The New International
1, no. 4 [November 1934]: 1). Marx makes the virtually analogous point in his well-known letter to Russian populist Vera Zasulich (Karl Marx, “A Letter to Vera Zasulich,” in McClelland,
Karl Marx: Selected Writings
, 576–80).

As David McNally succinctly puts it: at its “heart” primitive accumulation is ultimately about “the commodification of human labour power” (

Taiaiake Alfred articulates this point well in the context of Canada’s land claims and self-government policies when he writes: “The framework of current reformist or reconciling negotiations are about handing us the scraps of history: self-government and jurisdictional authorities for state-created Indian governments within the larger colonial system and subjection of Onkwehonwe [Indigenous peoples] to the blunt force of capitalism by integrating them as wage slaves into the mainstream resource-exploitation economy” (

In framing this question, I do not intend to suggest that the day-to-day effects of colonial dispossession within our communities have not been incredibly violent in character. All evidence points to the contrary. Nor am I suggesting that the era of overtly coercive colonial rule has come to an end. The frequency of what have at times been spectacular displays of state power deployed against relatively small numbers of Indigenous community activists has shown this not to be the case either. The violent state interventions that transpired at Kanesatake in 1990 and Gustafsen Lake in 1995 demonstrate this all too well. I am merely suggesting that strategically deployed state violence no longer constitutes the
first response
in maintaining settler-colonial hegemony vis-à-vis Indigenous nations. On the military and paramilitary attacks at Kanesatake and Gustafsen Lake, see Geoffrey York and Loreen Pindera,
People of the Pines: The Warriors and the Legacy of Oka

I would argue that this claim applies to other identity-related struggles as well. As James Tully suggests, when “struggles over recognition” are conceived of in “broad” or “ontological” terms, it is clear that any effort to alter “the norms under which citizens are led to recognize themselves [and each other] will have effects in the distribution or redistribution of the relations of power among them.” This is as true in cases where workers collectively struggle to challenge the prevailing norms of exploitative nonrecognition that have hitherto excluded them from participating in the democratic governance of a site of production, as it is in contexts where a group of Indigenous women challenge a patriarchal norm of misrecognition which has functioned to exclude, assimilate, or dominate them. When seen in this light, many, if not most, of today’s prominent social movements clearly “exhibit both recognition and distribution aspects” (

A number of studies have mapped the similarities and differences between the dialectic of recognition as conceived by Fanon and Hegel, but relatively few have applied Fanon’s insights to critique the groundswell appropriation of Hegel’s theory of recognition to address contemporary questions surrounding the recognition of cultural diversity. Even fewer have used Fanon’s writings to problematize the utility of a politics of recognition for restructuring hierarchical relations among disparate identities in colonial contexts.

Fanon’s contemporary Albert Memmi drew a similar conclusion five years later, in 1957: “Constantly confronted with this image of himself, set forth and imposed on all institutions and in every human contact, how could the colonized help reacting to this portrait? It cannot leave him indifferent and remain a veneer which, like an insult, blows with the wind. He ends up
recognizing it
as one would a detested nickname which has become a familiar description. . . . Wilfully created and spread by the colonizer, this mythical and degrading portrait ends up being
accepted
and
lived
to a certain extent by the colonized. It thus acquires a certain amount of reality and contributes to the true portrait of the colonized” (
