The Hsaya San Rebellion swept through colonial Myanmar between 1930 and 1932. It took eighteen months and over seven thousand Indian Army troops to suppress. Triggered by acute pressures in the agrarian economy that were compounded by a global fall in rice prices, the violence of the revolt cannot be fully explained by this crisis alone. Bands of peasant rebels massacred Indians; not only moneylenders but cattle-herders, who were themselves a precarious and marginal rural community. These massacres are not easy to interpret. Revisiting the insurgency through the growing literature on racial capitalism provides a framework for a understanding peasants’ racialized violence.

缅甸殖民地的种族资本主义和农民起义

1930 年至 1932 年间，Hsaya San 叛乱席卷了殖民地缅甸。镇压了 18 个月和 7000 多名印度军队。由于全球大米价格下跌加剧了农业经济的巨大压力，起义的暴力不能仅用这场危机来完全解释。一群农民起义者屠杀了印第安人；不仅是放债人，还有牧民，他们本身就是一个不稳定和边缘化的农村社区。这些大屠杀并不容易解释。通过越来越多的关于种族资本主义的文献重新审视叛乱，为理解农民的种族化暴力提供了一个框架。
