Jane Komori’s research focuses on race, labor, and ecology. Her current book project investigates the labor history 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—specifically the racialization of labor—are produced at the intersection of settler colonialism, resource extraction, and resultant environmental change. Jane’s writing has appeared or is forthcoming in 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 managing editor of Long-Haul, a quarterly magazine of worker writing.
