‘The Delusions of Care’ is a culmination of three long essays in which Ndikung ruminates on notions of care, in history and in our contemporary society. He is concerned with the appropriation of care by the capitalist establishment as much as supremacists of all kinds. What can we consider as care? And who gives care for what reasons? The reflections on these questions in this book span a critique of care from the regimes of birth control through police brutality, to the storming of the Reichstag in summer 2020 that very much set precedence to the storming of Capitol Hill by Trumpists and White supremacists in January 2021. A proper ethics of care for our times, he suggests, must primarily rest on a foundational care for justice. Ndikung does not only point out the pitfalls of a corrupted notion of care, but tries to offer paths for rehabilitation, restoration, restitution through a non-selfish spirit of care.
