In the Russia-Ukraine war, attention has been focused on the "Special Military Operation." However, the authors in The Russia-Ukraine War from an African Perspective: Special Operations in the Age of Technoscientific Futurism argue that there are many other special operations in various other arenas in the world that deserve equal attention. Connecting special military operations to what they call economic operations, cultural operations, and political operations, these authors relate to what is going on in Ukraine to special operations that have haunted and are currently haunting Africans and other places in the Global South. Drawing on topical debates about technoscience, this book critically examines invasive technologies in relation to bodily autonomy, integrity, and privacy, and it urges scholars and thinkers to compare these invasions to invasive special military operations. Similarly, drawing insights from contemporary debates on postanthropocentrism, posthumanism, antihumanism, transhumanism, and animism, the authors flag the dangers of decentering the human and of dismissing human essence in a world that badly needs the protective shield of human rights. Additionally, the authors argue that wars result from the dismissal of human essences and human exceptionalism, because such dismissals legitimize sacrificing lives. This book grapples with the future of humanity in an emergent posthumanist and postanthropocentric world where the human is decentered even as the world is set to witness the proliferation of resource wars.
