Alien Capital
In Alien Capital Iyko Day retheorizes the history and logic of settler colonialism by examining its intersection with capitalism and the racialization of Asian immigrants to Canada and the United States. Day explores how the historical alignment of Asian bodies and labor with capital's abstract and negative dimensions became one of settler colonialism's foundational and defining features. This alignment allowed white settlers to gloss over and expunge their complicity with capitalist exploitation from their collective memory. Day reveals this process through an analysis of a diverse body of Asian North American literature and visual culture, including depictions of Chinese railroad labor in the 1880s, filmic and literary responses to Japanese internment in the 1940s, and more recent examinations of the relations between free trade, national borders, and migrant labor. In highlighting these artists' reworking and exposing of the economic modalities of Asian racialized labor, Day pushes beyond existing approaches to settler colonialism as a Native/settler binary to formulate it as a dynamic triangulation of Native, settler, and alien populations and positionalities.

“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University
Tetragrammar
Ever since The Authors imprisoned Father Notion in the Moon, the task of completing the unwritten novel Tetragrammar has fallen to the writer known as Seven. But recording this elusive book has proven far more difficult than Seven imagined. Being tortured with an existential writers block, Seven must also deal with older, primordial forces, something absurd and circle-shaped eating away at his sanity. After a rejected proposal and the wrath of his muse, Fable, Seven discovers the dangers of a writers drive for perfection. While The Authors and Their Dynasties plot against him, Seven will understand some stories must never go unwritten, that Tetragrammar is his last chance at knotting the plot holes in his life. But what will its completion ultimately mean? As Seven faces adversaries such as rubber devils and bag-headed saints, Tetragrammar becomes a surreal exploration on the nature of inspiration, writing, and the dangers of creating art. Ultimately, Seven must rise from the pages of his own fiction, but will his journey usher in an age of enlightenment or an eternity of madness? Can he uncover a truth more real on the Outer Page?
