In this sentence written by me, has the underlined expression been correctly used?
By exposing the anti-human face of power that separates a mother from her child, the novel tries to critique the whole political system of today.
 
What's the context? What novel are you writing about? What does the author mean by the phrase in bold?
 
I don't understand what the phrase is supposed to mean, so no. What do you mean by 'anti-human'?
 
Sorry I genuinely don't understand what could be baffling about the meaning of "anti-human" ("against humanity") here. Would the one-word "antihuman" be more correct? To me, the boldfaced usage is ordinary and the OP sentence a sufficient context.
 
You might be looking for inhuman.
 
Or "inhumane", since it is talking about mother-child relationship. "Anti-human" is too vague.
