10 reviews for Neither Settler nor Native : The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities

  1. Priyansha Dalmia –

    Important ideas, but the writing style could be more accessible. The concept of ‘permanent minorities’ is well-developed. I wish it had more real-world examples.

  2. Nikita Jetwani –

    This book is essential for anyone studying colonialism and its legacies. It can be repetitive at points, hammering the same ideas.

  3. Abhishek Gedam –

    An interesting take, but I’m not entirely convinced by all of Mamdani’s claims. I appreciate the effort to rethink political community, though.

  4. Kashish Rawat –

    Challenging but rewarding. Mamdani’s book offers a fresh, albeit complex, analysis. This is essential reading for understanding modern political conflict.

  5. Hemant Kumar –

    This book completely changed how I understand political identities. It’s a tough read but worth the effort. Mamdani is a brilliant scholar.

  6. Muskan Singh –

    A powerful critique of the nation-state. While dense, it’s a crucial contribution to postcolonial studies. The book offers no easy answers, though.

  7. Divya Meena –

    A thought-provoking read, but dense and challenging at times. Mamdani presents a compelling argument regarding the creation of minorities. It made me think, but I had to reread some sections.

  8. Michael Harris Y –

    Mamdani challenges conventional wisdom. However, I found some of his arguments a bit abstract and disconnected from the realities on the ground.

  9. Vaidehi Gupta –

    Mamdani’s analysis is insightful, offering a new perspective on political violence. It’s academically rigorous, perhaps too much so for a casual reader. Still, a worthwhile read.

  10. Anjali Gupta –

    Excellent scholarship! ‘Neither Settler nor Native’ provides a framework for understanding contemporary conflicts. Highly recommended for serious students.
