In Critique of Black Reason eminent critic Achille Mbembe offers a
capacious genealogy of the category of Blackness-from the Atlantic
slave trade to the present-to critically reevaluate history,
racism, and the future of humanity. Mbembe teases out the
intellectual consequences of the reality that Europe is no longer
the world's center of gravity while mapping the relations among
colonialism, slavery, and contemporary financial and extractive
capital. Tracing the conjunction of Blackness with the biological
fiction of race, he theorizes Black reason as the collection of
discourses and practices that equated Blackness with the nonhuman
in order to uphold forms of oppression. Mbembe powerfully argues
that this equation of Blackness with the nonhuman will serve as the
template for all new forms of exclusion. With Critique of Black
Reason, Mbembe offers nothing less than a map of the world as it
has been constituted through colonialism and racial thinking while
providing the first glimpses of a more just future.
