Achille Mbembe on Emancipation - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 924 Emancipation/Membe/Herb: Emancipatory politics cannot be made with Mbembe's postcolony. He thus joins those representatives of postcolonialism who combine their political abstinence with an ethical turn(1). VsMbembe: Similar to Mudimbe and Spivak, Mbembe obviously finds it difficult to design political strategies for the time after. At any rate, according to a disappointed critic (Hiddleston 2009(2)), he does not show a way to liberate dehumanized Africa. In the young history of ideas of post-colonialism, one must therefore count his work among the anxious, ambivalent and worried designs. In the end, Mbembe was content with a mere ethical criticism of the violence of representation (Hiddleston 2009(2), 176). Brocker I 925 And indeed, his analysis of the present suggests the suspicion that what is saving post-colonial Africa must come not from danger, that is, from its own forces, but from outside. >Nihilism/Mbembe. 1.
