Debating Ideas is a new section that aims to reflect the values and editorial ethos of the African Arguments book series, publishing engaged, often radical, scholarship, original and activist writing from within the African continent and beyond. It will offer debates and engagements, contexts and controversies, and reviews and responses flowing from the African Arguments books.

The podcast series “African Voices, African Arguments” features African scholars, writers, policy makers and activists on issues of peace, justice and democracy, and is produced by the World Peace Foundation and presented in partnership with  The Institute for Global Leadership at Tufts University.

 

In Episode 9 of the podcast series, Alex de Waal speaks with Mahmood Mamdani, Ugandan academic, author, and political commentator. His new book is Neither Settler nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities, Harvard University Press (November 2020).

 

Colonialism created boundaries inside the society, political boundaries, specifically race and tribe, in order to ensure effective colonial governance of that society.

His latest book, Neither Settler nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities, was released November 2020.
