Reviews
"In an argument both elegant and urgent, Achille Mbembe focuses our attention on the African continent, which is not only where the forms of domination and deprivation that increasingly affect the entire globe are most fully deployed but also where the forms of reparation necessary for a future world can be glimpsed." -- Michael Hardt, author of * The Subversive Seventies *
"This is a fantastic translation of a vital text. The poetry, intensity, complexity, and subtlety that we have come to expect from Achille Mbembe's work are all here in Brutalism." -- Laurent Dubois, translator of * Critique of Black Reason *
