Description
Neither Settler nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities by Mahmood Mamdani
This thought-provoking work challenges the conventional understanding of the nation-state, arguing that it was born from colonialism. Mamdani contends that the model of a permanent minority has been used globally to justify violence and exclusion.
He calls for a radical rethinking of the political community, delinking the nation from the state, in order to ensure equal rights for all who live within its boundaries. A deeply learned account of our modern world, this book offers a new kind of political imagination to address the ongoing legacies of colonialism and post-colonial violence.
