Define and Rule by Mahmood Mamdani
UGX 35,000.00
In StockDefine and Rule focuses on the turn in late nineteenth-century colonial statecraft when Britain abandoned the attempt to eradicate difference between conqueror and conquered and introduced a new idea of governance, as the definition and management of difference.
Description
Mahmood Mamdani explores how lines were drawn between settler and native as distinct political identities, and between natives according to tribe. Out of that colonial experience issued a modern language of pluralism and difference. A mid-nineteenth-century crisis of empire attracted the attention of British intellectuals and led to a preconception of the colonial mission, and to reforms in India, British Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies.
