Scholars of the infrastructural turn have generally described infrastructure in relation to modernity and modernity in terms of the Enlightenment highlighting the association between circulation and progress in Enlightenment thought as infrastucture's conceptual ground. This essay questions this periodization of infrastructural modernity by exploring the case of a late-sixteenth-century road project in colonial Mexico which formed part of a global assemblage of infrastructures that wove together the emerging racial capitalist world system. Building on the work of Nancy Fraser it proposes an alternative approach to periodizing infrastructural modernity that can distinguish and track transformations between historical regimes of accumulation.
