Description

This volume brings together reflections on citizenship, political violence, race, ethnicity and gender, by some of the most critical voices of our times.

Detailed and wide-ranging individual reflections, take the writings of prominent Ugandan political theorist Mahmood Mamdani as a touchstone for thinking about the world from Africa.

Contributors apply this theory to argue that we cannot make sense of the political contentions of difference, identity and citizenship today without understanding the legacies of colonial rule on our world.

Chapters examine the persistence of the past, and how we must reckon with its tragedies, its injustices, and its utopias in order to chart a new politics; the politics of possible futures that are more inclusive and more egalitarian, and that can think of difference in more equitable ways.

In a time when the call to decolonize knowledge, and politics rings loud and clear, this is both a timely and a crucial intervention.
