Synopsis

Achille Mbembe's "Necropolitics" explores how sovereignty is exercised through the power to dictate who may live and who must die. Drawing on postcolonial theory, the book examines the contemporary forms of subjugation and the mechanisms of violence that define political life in many parts of the world. It offers a critical analysis of how power operates beyond traditional state control, shaping bodies and populations.
