Stoler often describes her youth as one of the formative aspects of her research interests, specifically of being aware of the “quotidian weight of distinctions” as a Jewish girl in class-conscious mid-20th century Long Island, adjacent to New York City and its worlds of taste and racial difference. In a 2019 interview in ''DisClosure'', she elaboratedsaid: “Categories of people and things, race was inscribed in that everyday--ineveryday—in who was not in our schools, where my father worked but did not play, where winter vacations took us, in places my family would not go. I’m ever more convinced that race was a subtext in my growing up--thoseup—those who would be excluded and those places my parents feared I might be excluded from.”<ref name=":2" />

In her own words, Stoler describes her research and writing as a search for the elusive and unyielding aspects of power. “Understanding how power works has long pulled me in different directions--fromdirections—from Marx to Foucault to Marguerite Duras, and back again through Raymond Williams’ 'structures of feeling' and again to Foucault …  [including] his forceful claim that 'every sentiment has a history.'"<ref name=":2" /> The [[affective]] aspects of the colonial and imperial state is a topic that cuts throughthroughout Stoler’s work, from Dutch and French colonialism in Indonesia and Vietnam, to her recent work on Palestine and the U.S.. Again and again, her analyses showshowing how affect(s)affects such as fear and disregard shape and entrench inequalities based on cultural categories such as race: “My work has pushed between inscription, prescription, and ascription, how race is inscribed in the colonial archives, how ways of being are prescribed for Europeans and how they in turn ascribe features to others, those populations who they so often saw as a potential threat.”<ref name=":2" />

If the project began as a response to Stoler’s essay, the final book is a more plural set of interventions that take up the ways that U.S. empire is rendered as an object of inquiry; how intimate relations articulated imperial power; and the politics of knowledge production and comparison that for so long made such a collaboration unlikely. Stoler’s imprint is recognizable in her curation of the volume, the questions that animate the essays, and the sense of political urgency that prompted the volume’s timing.
