Necropolitics

Necropolitics creates a world of death and promotes dehumanization by depriving human beings of their dignity and destroying their living space, as well as their political status.

There is a darkness in the hearts of human beings that light can hardly penetrate. They carry this darkness to the grave, but not before passing it on to their descendants. Violence is the darkness that inhabits spirits of the past. History is incapable of describing the omnipresent abominations people commit against their fellow humans.

This is so very palpable in Haitian memory, that they have chronicled the misery and pain of slavery their ancestors endured in their folklore. One Haitian folktale is about zombies, a creature that is believed to be a dead body that has been brought back to life by supernatural powers.
