"In this capacious book, Sharad Chari traces the palimpsest of apartheid rule by giving us a chilling analysis of liberal formations of biopolitical subjection and their enduring power. And yet, Chari ensures that this is a book about political hope, illuminating movements, struggles, and insurgencies that constitute a genealogy of revolution. We need both in the times at hand: to better understand liberal government and its refusals and rebellions."–Ananya Roy, Meyer and Renee Luskin Chair in Inequality and Democracy, University of California, Los Angeles
