USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Neither Settler Nor Native A Response to My Critics

Thanks for sharing this rejoinder.  Mamdani went 

to great lengths to claim that he was not guilty of  negligence, with respect to gender issues.  A better response would have been a thank you note 

to his critic, rather than a  defensive  tirade

that disclosed  unprofessional abandonment

of 2,000 questionnaires along the way.

Hey! What if there were 

some golden nuggets in the paper stack? 

He also dissed one of the great gifts of social 

engineering, affirmative action, without which 

the historically disenfranchised  would have a

grim future.  It is true that some of the

beneficiaries of this process try to kick 

down the ladder that they climbed on-

denying identity with ruthless abandon, 

but they do not speak for the community 

of grateful recipients, or the society as a whole.

Our own IB also starred in the rejoinder.
