Comparative literature theorist Rob Nixon writes of remaindered humans as the compacted left-overs on whom neoliberalism’s inequities bear down most heavily.[72] Mike Davis has discussed them as what the system sees: mere global residium.[73] Annu Jalais in India references these groups as neoliberalism’s dispensable peoples.[74] Global developmental agencies building megadams (usually funded by the World Bank) create what Thayer Scudder termed developmental refugees.[75] Yet, as all these authors stress—and this will be a main point of this book’s Part Two as it develops a counter-theatrics to state terror—these groups are agential; they persist and can animate resistance in unexpected ways.
