Interview with Achille Mbembe by Rosa Moussaoui
In his latest essay, Critique of Negro Reason, Achille Mbembe deploys an enlightening reflection on alterity, on the genealogy of the concept of “race” which is indissociable from the development of capitalism, and on what he names “the becoming negro of the world”. He points to a horizon of emancipation, that of a “rising of humanity” in a world that has shed the burden of race.
