This book discusses and theorizes Achille Mbembe's necropolitics,
the politics of death, in the specific context of North America. It
works to characterize and analyze the particularities and
relational differences of American and Canadian necropowers
vis-a-vis their devices, subjectivities, necroempowered subjects,
and production of spaces of death in their geographical and
symbolic borderlands with the Third World: the US-Mexico border,
indigenous lands, migrant and Black-American neighborhoods, and
resource rich geographies. North American necropowers not only
profit from death, but also conduct disposable populations to death
throughout the region. The volume proposes a postcolonial
perspective that characterizes the political power of North America
as a necropower-or the sovereign power to make die. Each chapter
therefore theorizes and analyzes the specificities of necropower,
examining different necropolitics that range from asylum and
migration restrictions to the economic exploitation and abandonment
of deprived populations and policing of ethnic minorities, in
particular Mexican immigrants, indigenous peoples, and African Am
erican communities.
