Description
The Magic of the State is a ficto-criticism about how the modern state is created through the use of the dead. The author creates a story about a spirit-queen who oversees an unnamed, postcolonial country and how the dead are used to generate the magical powers of the modern state.
Set in the enchanted mountain of a spirit-queen presiding over an unnamed, postcolonial country, this ethnographic work of ficto-criticism recreates in written form the shrines by which the dead--notably the fetishized forms of Europe's Others, Indians and Blacks--generate the magical powers of the modern state.
