- Description: In this genealogy of political modernity, Mahmood Mamdani argues that the colonial state and the nation-state have been mutually constructed through the politicization of a religious or ethnic majority at the expense of an equally manufactured minority. This book offers a vision for arresting this historical process.
-
Making the radical argument that the nation-state was born of colonialism, this book calls us to rethink political violence and reimagine political community beyond majorities and minorities. In this genealogy of political modernity, Mahmood Mamdani argues that the nation-state and the colonial state created each other. In case after case around the globe—from the New World to South Africa, Israel to Germany to Sudan—the colonial state and the nation-state have been mutually constructed through the politicization of a religious or ethnic majority at the expense of an equally manufactured minority. Neither Settler nor Native offers a vision for arresting this historical process. Mamdani rejects the “criminal” solution attempted at Nuremberg, which held individual perpetrators responsible without questioning Nazism as a political project and thus the violence of the nation-state itself. Instead, political violence demands political solutions: not criminal justice for perpetrators but a rethinking of the political community for all survivors—victims, perpetrators, bystanders, beneficiaries—based on common residence and the commitment to build a common future without the permanent political identities of settler and native. Mamdani points to the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa as an unfinished project, seeking a state without a nation.

Description: Slow Poison is an authoritative and personal account of the tragic fate of Uganda and the unravelling of its struggle for decolonialization under the rule of Idi Amin and Yoweri Museveni. Mamdani casts a learned and wary eye on the two leaders and the global heavyweights that exploited and manipulated Uganda before and after its independence.
In 1972, when Mahmood Mamdani came home to Uganda, he found a country transformed by 'an orgy of violence' under Idi Amin. Amin was followed by Yoweri Museveni, who has ruled for nearly four decades.
Slow Poison is Mamdani's firsthand account of the tragic unraveling of his country's struggle for decolonialization. A witness to East Africa's intricate power plays and one of the most insightful political philosophers of his generation, Mamdani casts a learned and wary eye on Amin, internationally depicted as a buffoon, the radical scholar Museveni, and the global heavyweights that exploited and manipulated Uganda before and after its independence.
