Based on Foucault’s concepts of governmentality and Achilles Mbembe’s concept of necropower, the work also suggests that the concentration of death in predominately black neighborhoods constitutes a state-sponsored necropolitic. Such politic of death is expressed in the state omission and/or its complicity with the morbid patterns of racial relations in Brazil. |
