Colonial violence and criminology: A confrontation from the documentary Concerning Violence

Abstract

The documentary Concerning Violence: Nine Scenes of Anti-Imperialistic Self-Defense (2014) illustrates Frantz Fanon's book The Wretched of the Earth with images of the struggles for decolonization in Africa. Considering the film’s relevance and its pedagogical character, this article proposes an epistemological debate about colonial violence and Criminology. Forward, the necropolitics’s concept is triggered to analyze the genocide of the black population in Brazil

Keywords:
