"Through often unexpected and dazzling analyses, Iyko Day considers a transnational U.S.–Canada archive that explores how Asian immigrants came to represent the abstraction of capital, bringing to the fore a history of settler colonialism that is often ignored in accounts of Asian immigration and racialization. Alien Capital is sure to be a very important, influential, and widely read book."  - David L. Eng, author of The Feeling of Kinship: Queer Liberalism and the Racialization of Intimacy

"Featuring elegant and erudite readings of an impressive variety of texts by Asian artists from the United States and Canada alongside brilliant theoretical analyses of settler colonialism and racial capital, Iyko Day's Alien Capital is an immensely important and innovative work. With groundbreaking and profound interventions, Day convincingly demonstrates that we cannot fully understand settler colonialism without considering Asian racialization."  - Grace Kyungwon Hong, author of Death beyond Disavowal: The Impossible Politics of Difference

"Iyko Day’s book will take its place amongst important work that theorizes, historicizes and offers a way to speak to the intersections of capitalism, white supremacy, settler colonialism, and migration in white settler contexts." - Kevin Bruyneel, Theory & Event

“Insightful, intersectional cultural criticism.... I highly recommend Alien Capitalfor Native American and Indigenous studies scholars with an interest in settler-colonialism, critical ethnic studies, women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, visual cultures, and literature.” - Beenash Jafri, Native American and Indigenous Studies

"This book invites readers to see art as a means of questioning and rethinking history. Historians may want the book to historicize the artists themselves, but Day is aiming at something else: seeing a world beyond capitalism." - Elliott Young, Journal of American History
