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.
