Circulation, Blockage, Burden: Inventory and the Shared Rhythms of Nigerian Industry and Asian American Diasporas.
Description
This article examines inventory management as both a financial practiceand a cultural-economic system that shapes survival strategies under racializedcapitalism. Drawing on Nigerian manufacturing data (2013–2022), East Asianindustrial histories, and Asian American immigrant business practices, we argue thatinventory functions as a metaphorical language of circulation, blockage, and burden.In contexts of infrastructural volatility and racial exclusion, inventory rhythms revealhow communities adapt to precarity through improvisational resilience. By placingNigerian industrial firms alongside Asian American diasporic economies, this studycontributes to Asian American Studies, Africapitalism, and cultural political economy,offering inventory as a transnational analytic for understanding inequality andsurvival.
