Jane Komori

Jane Komori’s research focuses on race, labor, and the environment. Her current book project investigates the labor and self-organization of Asian immigrant and Indigenous workers in western Canada’s primary resource industries from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. The book theorizes the way that racial forms are produced at the intersection of settler colonialism, resource extraction, and resultant environmental change. Jane’s writing has appeared or is forthcoming in American Quarterly, Amerasia, Labour/Le Travail, Radical History Review, Historical Materialism: Research in Critical Marxist Theory, Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal, Critical Ethnic Studies, Asia-Pacific Journal, and Qui Parle: Critical Humanities and Social Sciences. She is a member of the editorial collective of Long-Haul, a quarterly magazine of worker writing.
