“…We define racialization as a process of marking bodies, whereby essentialized identities, traits, and meanings are assigned to particular bodies as circumscribed by shifting political, cultural, and economic relations (e.g. Banton 1977;Barot and Bird 2001;Desmond and Emirbayer 2009;Baber 2010;Omi and Winant 2015;Gans 2017;Ramdas 2018;Zeev 2021). As a continuous process of ascription, racialization is a rejoinder to biological notions of race, a reminder that race is an unstable category (Omi and Winant 2015) advanced by colonial, capitalist and hetero-patriarchal projects.…”

The contributions in this issue forward a nuanced exposition of how the production of racial difference in India buttresses and is reproduced through Hindu nationalist, casteist, and colonial projects that generate tacit or explicit consent for continued violence against racialized others. At the same time, the articles look transnationally, examining how regional forms of racial difference marked by caste and tribe, for instance, have long articulated with historical forms of global racial capitalism. Ultimately, this special issue attends to the narratives and experiences of those living at the margins, who strategically deploy racial concepts to build international solidarity movements beyond the narrow confines of the nation-state. In so doing, it hopes to derive insights on the necessity of transnational translations, even as it directs renewed attention to the specificity of regional hierarchies that shape everyday life and death in India.

Using the framework of microhistory, the following article explores the notion of ‘encampment’ in relation to economically displaced labourers who crossed into Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s. It considers what a new reading of ‘encampment’ might offer to the historical and inter-disciplinary studies of refugeehood, migration, borders, and forced displacement. The article traces the story of one such labourer, displaced from Egypt to the port city of Haifa. Using this man’s archival record, the article analyses how historians might depict other such men and women as ‘encamped’ by the nature of their economic displacement and their inability to return to the places from which they came. These migrants often fell into the categorization of ‘forcibly displaced’ twice: they were forced by economic circumstances to migrate, and many were subsequently deported from Palestine because they had no authorization to have entered the country.
