Summary:	"Brutalism examines the convergence of the technological, biological, and the planetary through the lens of "brutalism." Achille Mbembe borrows this term from architectural history to describe how reason and power come together in domination over all forms of life. The modern desire to quantify and to classify, Mbembe argues, has unified living beings and artificial machines and has thus produced a "form of power without external limits or outside." In an effort the thwart this problem, Mbembe looks to recent Afro-diasporic thought. He identifies Africa as the continent where the totalizing logic of contemporary capitalism and the work of brutalism are most forcefully called into question. Brutalism was published in French by La Decouverte in 2020"--
