500 _aIn Necropolitics, Achille Mbembe, a leader in the new wave of francophone critical theory, theorizes the genealogy of the contemporary world, a world plagued by ever-increasing inequality, militarization, enmity and terror as well as by a resurgence of racist, fascist and nationalist forces determined to exclude and kill. He outlines how democracy has begun to embrace its dark side-what he calls its "nocturnal body" which is based on the desires, fears, affects, relations and violence that drove colonialism.
