Necropolítica by Achille Mbembe
A theoretical and historical analysis that argues modern sovereign power increasingly organizes life through exposure to death rather than solely by fostering life: it traces how colonialism, slavery, segregation, occupation and contemporary war technologies produce ‘death-worlds’ in which racialized and marginalized populations are rendered disposable, examines how state and military practices, prisons and extra-legal violence administer and monetize death, and reframes debates about sovereignty, resistance and human value by showing how contexts of abandonment and necropolitical governance shape political subjectivity and possibilities for emancipation.
