Description

In 'Citizen and Subject,' Mahmood Mamdani explores the political legacy of colonialism in Africa, focusing on the institutional and ideological frameworks that have persisted post-independence. Mamdani argues that colonial rule created a bifurcated state, characterized by a division between citizens and subjects, which continues to influence contemporary governance and social structures in Africa.
