Postcolonial and critical of power

HOLBERG PRIZE WINNER: Achille Mbembe's books all revolve around how the people in post-colonial states are kept down and marginalized.

AFRICA: Disruption opens up for the capitalists a new display of power and new income: People, society and nature are reduced to raw material.
