Caribe, chinofobia, enfoque transregional, capitalismo racial, triangulaciones múltiplesResumen
En este artículo argumento a favor del uso de un enfoque teórico transregional para estudiar la chinofobia en el Caribe, específicamente en Jamaica. Además de integrar los estudios poscoloniales y étnicos, utilizo las teorías de las triangulaciones múltiples y del capitalismo racial para situar los contextos poscoloniales que facilitan los conflictos interétnicos modernos en Jamaica. Mediante el enfoque teórico transregional, reestructuro las intimidades y desacuerdos en torno a la presencia china de etnia hakka en el Caribe, en un marco global, para volver a centrar la violencia más amplia del capitalismo y los legados coloniales sobre los cuales realmente recae la culpa. Junto con la expansión de la influencia de la República Popular China a los mercados emergentes del Caribe, América Latina y África, y su reconexión con las comunidades posteriores a la época del trabajo bajo régimen de servidumbre, los nuevos intercambios (o la renovación de los antiguos) se han vuelto más comunes y han complicado nuestras ideas de raza, etnia e identidad. Este artículo se sitúa en la intersección de dichos intercambios y proporciona un marco para el análisis transregional, haciéndose cargo de los complejos intercambios transregionales y de sur-sur que generan tales implicaciones.
