The capitalist world system and planet Earth, among other systems, are experiencing crisis, that is, they face significant resistance or disruptions in their reproduction. At the same time, political, economic, and social forces are not only moving at a great speed but creating the conditions for fast change into new relations of power, ushering transitions that appeared unthinkable even a year before. As these processes take place, the concept of “transition” increasingly appears in various discursive and knowledge fields (i.e. technology, economy, gender) to both describe and explain systemic transformation. Equally relevant, it does not tend to appear in other fields, notably in the study of racism.
