Necropolitics

In Necropolitics, Achille Mbembe examines the darker facets of modern democracy, highlighting how increasing inequality, militarization, and the resurgence of oppressive ideologies have transformed the political landscape into one where war and exclusion prevail. Drawing on critical theories of biopolitics, race, and care, he explores potential pathways toward reconceptualizing human relations beyond traditional humanism, aiming for a more just and inclusive world.
