Abstract
The conclusion begins with a meditation on the radical nature of cohabitating, of living with violence. Drawing on research conducted during the Ebola epidemic in eastern Congo, it examines the commitment to survive, to breathe, to aspire in Congo despite dense antiblackness, a world committed to Black death. It then offers a final glimpse of Congo, the return of M23 and the continuation of violence, before concluding with a vision of what could be. When the world of Man is crumbling, as it must, the plural, multisited understanding of healing that is emerging from the undercommons, which is devoted to trying out other ways of living in a broken world, lights paths forward to otherwise futures for us all.
