Global capitalism has always produced not only goods but also races and species since its inception. It is underpinned by a racist mindset, a "black reason," as the great African philosopher and postcolonial thinker Achille Mbembe demonstrates in his brilliant and captivating book. The relentlessly spreading neoliberal form of capitalism now projects the figure of the Negro onto the entire subaltern humanity. In this process of the world turning black, Mbembe's radical critique argues, Europe and its citizens have become just another province in the global empire of this capitalism.
