Zone of Nonbeing: Guantanamo 2014
UC Berkeley ethicist Ramon Grosfoguel elaborates on the term "zone of non-being" as a place where those deemed "below the line of human" are managed with methods of violence and inhumane treatment. Interview subjects cite historical instances of colonial expansion as the driving force behind creating these zones, dating back to 1492 with the conquest of Granada and continuing through the US's history of human rights violations from the genocide of Native Americans to the Civil War and the continued racial segregation of the mid-20th century.
