Offers new ways to read the relationship between culture, ecology, and capitalism.Tracking Capital introduces new ways to understand the entanglement of cultural forms and practices in economic, social, and ecological crises and struggles. Building on the fundamental insights of world-systems analysis, the book offers readers a series of rubrics, keywords, and concepts-such as zemiperiphery, registration, and commodity chains-to enable more integrated, transdisciplinary methods of literary and cultural study. Throughout, Sharae Deckard, Michael Niblett, and Stephen Shapiro foreground the role of culture in both consolidating and contesting the classism, racism, sexism, and ecocide constitutive of the modern world-system. In the context of capitalism's ongoing bloody war against the poor, the powerless, and the planet, Tracking Capital provides tools with which to diagnose the morbid symptoms of the present, as well as to plot possible steps on the road to a better future.

"…Tracking Capital offers a vital complement to world literary study, particularly at a moment of planetary and academic crisis." — ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment"An impressive and important contribution to ongoing, heated debates about 'World Literature.'
