      abstract = {This book discusses and theorizes Achille Mbembes  necropolitics, the politics of death, in the specific  context of North America. It works to characterize and  analyze the particularities and relational differences of  American and Canadian necropowers vis-a-vis their devices,  subjectivities, necroempowered subjects, and production of  spaces of death in their geographical and symbolic  borderlands with the Third World: the US-Mexico border,  indigenous lands, migrant and Black-American neighborhoods,  and resource rich geographies. North American necropowers  not only profit from death, but also conduct disposable  populations to death throughout the region. The volume  proposes a postcolonial perspective that characterizes the  political power of North America as a necropoweror the  sovereign power to make die. Each chapter therefore  theorizes and analyzes the specificities of necropower,  examining different necropolitics that range from asylum  and migration restrictions to the economic exploitation and  abandonment of deprived populations and policing of ethnic  minorities, in particular Mexican immigrants, indigenous  peoples, and African Am erican communities.
