Slow Poison
A leading public intellectual gives his authoritative and personal account of the tragic postcolonial fate of Uganda, his homeland. In 1972, when Mahmood Mamdani came home to Uganda, he found a country transformed by “an orgy of violence.” Two years earlier, with support from the colonial powers of Great Britain and Israel, Idi Amin had forcefully cemented his rule. He soon expelled Uganda’s Indian minority in hopes of fostering a nation for Black Ugandans. The plan backfired. Amin was followed by Yoweri Museveni, who has now ruled for nearly four decades. Whereas Amin tried to create a Black nation out of the majority, Museveni sought to fragment this majority into multiple ethnic minorities, recreating a version of colonial indirect rule. Slow Poison is Mamdani’s firsthand report on the tragic unraveling of his country’s struggle for decolonialization. A witness to East Africa’s endlessly intricate power plays, and one of the most insightful political philosophers of his generation,
When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism, and the Genocide in Rwanda
An incisive look at the causes and consequences of the Rwandan genocide'When we captured Kigali, we thought we would face criminals in the state; instead, we faced a criminal population.' So a political commissar in the Rwanda Patriotic Front reflected after the 1994 massacre of as many as one million Tutsis in Rwanda. Underlying his statement was the realization that, though ordered by a minority of state functionaries, the slaughter was performed by hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens, including judges, doctors, priests, and friends. Rejecting easy explanations of the Rwandan genocide as a mysterious evil force that was bizarrely unleashed, When Victims Become Killers situates the tragedy in its proper context. Mahmood Mamdani coaxes to the surface the historical, geographical, and political forces that made it possible for so many Hutu to turn so brutally on their neighbors. In so doing, Mamdani usefully broadens understandings of citizenship and political identity in

Saviors and Survivors: Darfur, Politics, and the War on Terror
A sweeping and urgent exploration of the crisis in Darfur and an impassioned examination of the world's response to that crisis, from Mahmood Mamdani, 'one of the most penetrating analysts of African affairs' (The New York Times) and the father of New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. ' Mahmood Mamdani] demonstrates just how politically charged the word 'genocide' has become, and how many shady agendas it can serve, even among those purporting to act in the name of universal values.'--Harper's Magazine In Saviors and Survivors, Mahmood Mamdani brings a unique perspective on the crisis in Darfur. He explains how the conflict in Darfur began as a civil war between nomadic and peasant tribes over fertile land in the south, triggered by a severe drought that had expanded the Sahara Desert by more than sixty miles in forty years; how British colonial officials had artificially tribalized Darfur, dividing its population; and how the war intensified in the 1990s when the Sudanese
