Manu Vimalassery Term Assistant Professor, American Studies In his scholarship and teaching, Manu Vimalassery focuses on the intersections of imperialism and capitalism. His intellectual approaches are grounded primarily in Indigenous critique, the Black radical tradition, and materialist feminisms. He is working on a book manuscript, Empire's Tracks: Plains Indians, Chinese Migrants, and the First Transcontinental Railroad, that rethinks the history of the transcontinental railroad, and more broadly, the history of capitalism, through histories of Indigenous peoples and racialized migrants. In Fall 2014, he is teaching Profits of Race, which examines political economies of race, and Wealth of Natives, on Indigenous political economies. In Spring 2015, he plans to offer the courses What Is American Studies?, an introduction to recent American Studies scholarship, and Planet America, a critical refutation of American exceptionalism that situates the U.S. within regional and global histories, cultures, and economies.

He's your run of the mill anti-white, anti-Western, anti-capitalist professor.




I can sum up his class. America is evil and has been evil since it's foundation. The end.

Unbearable workloads for one thing. They also liked to award scholarships and then pull them after one semester. So they have you on the hook. You have to come up with your own money to avoid throwing the investment away.

She also had a couple of professors who had it in for southerners for one reason or another. There were three of them in her area of concentration. Her, one from Virginia and one from Tennessee. Confederate monuments were a big topic, and this was quite a few years before it became a public controversy.

She knew people at Penn and Cornell. Apparently those schools were more laid back. And it varied between departments at Columbia. But Architecture was pretty rough.
