'This panel explores themes of power and vulnerability in the global supply chain of garments manufactured in the South and Southeast Asian garment industry. Scholars of migration, labor, and transnational South/East Asian studies will think through the different points of power and protest in this vast global supply chain. We invite speakers to complicate the variegated supply chain that separates consumers, global brands, civil society organizations, and migrant workers in factories to think through how to connect these disparate modes of production. The panel will also highlight the particular types of racial and ethnic vulnerability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic for migrant workers in the South/East Asian garment industry, and draw these lessons into a historical genealogy of military imperialism and colonialism, as well as thinking about the global supply chain as a potent frontier of racial capitalism.  05:19 Minh-Hà T.
