From Citizen and Subject to Neither Settler Nor Native

Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone | | Greetings from the Council,
CODESRIA Bulletin Online is happy to share with you the first in a series of forthcoming intellectual reactions to Mahmood Mamdani's recent book Neither Settler Nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities, (Belknap Press: An Imprint of Harvard University Press, 2020). Authored by Prof. Ibrahim Abdallah, this intervention contextualises Mamdani's recent book in his previous trilogy of Citizen and Subject, When Victims Become Killers and Saviors and Survivors. Prof. Abdallah notes that Mamdani "moved from jettisoning 'How Europe Underdeveloped Africa' as a research problematic to substituting 'How Europe Ruled Africa' as the conceptual anchor in the burgeoning field of global citizenship studies" and, in so doing, wonders how productive this shift has been. Does Ibrahim Abdallah satisfactorily address this, and related, question emanating from Mahmood Mamdani's work?
We will be happy to hear from you.

Salutations du Conseil,
Le Bulletin en ligne du CODESRIA est heureux de partager avec vous la première d'une série de réactions intellectuelles à venir sur le récent livre de Mahmood Mamdani, Neither Settler Nor Native : The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities, (Belknap Press : An Imprint of Harvard University Press, 2020). Rédigée par le professeur Ibrahim Abdallah, cette intervention replace le récent livre de Mamdani dans le contexte de sa trilogie précédente, Citizen and Subject, When Victims Become Killers et Saviors and Survivors. Le professeur Abdallah note que Mamdani "est passé de l'abandon de la problématique de recherche 'Comment l'Europe a sous-développé l'Afrique' à la substitution de 'Comment l'Europe a dominé l'Afrique' comme point d'ancrage conceptuel dans le domaine naissant des études sur la citoyenneté mondiale" et, ce faisant, se demande si ce changement a été productif. Ibrahim Abdallah répond-il de manière satisfaisante à cette question, et à d'autres questions connexes, émanant du travail de Mahmood Mamdani ? Nous serions heureux de recevoir vos avis. Lisez le Bulletin en ligne N°11 de juin 2021 du CODESRIA ici. | | | |  | | | | | |
