Achille Mbembe is one of the most brilliant theorists of postcolonial studies writing today. In a series of provocative essays, Mbembe contests diehard Africanist and nativist perspectives as well as some of the key assumptions of postcolonial theory.This thought-provoking and groundbreaking collection of essays-his first book to be published in English-develops and extends debates first ignited by his well-known 1992 article "Provisional Notes on the Postcolony," in which he developed his notion of the "banality of power" in contemporary Africa. In On the Postcolony he profoundly renews our understanding of power and subjectivity in Africa.
He works with the complex registers of bodily subjectivity - violence, Mbembe reinterprets the meanings of death, utopia, and the divine libido as part of the new theoretical perspectives he offers on the constitution of power.
