The Politics of Death in Anti-colonial Praxis by Gregory Maxaulane explores the political conditions necessary for revolution and freedom. Located at the intersection of continental philosophy and Black studies, this book examines the political economy of death within the Black experience in South Africa by theorizing death as a productive and generative process. Maxaulane provides a deeper understanding of the politics of death by focusing on how continental philosophy and Black studies treat the problem of praxis as well as the parallels and convergences between the models of praxis they sustain. This book is a comprehensive exploration of these fields, providing critical engagements with the evolution of ideology and the anti-colonial praxis in South African history. Challenging liberal democratic doctrines that have undermined the claims of Black radical imagination, Maxaulane argues that the political economy of death allows us to break from tradition through a concept of freedom not grounded in transcendentalism.
Gregory Maxaulane teaches social and political theory in the Department of Political Studies at the University of Cape Town.
