Originally published in English as Neither Settler nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities, the book examines how modern political identities, nation-states, and permanent minorities were forged through violent processes of colonization and state-building. Drawing parallels between the historical displacement of indigenous populations in the Americas and the ongoing conflict in Israel/Palestine, Mamdani deconstructs the mechanisms of state-sponsored exclusion and political violence. Thought-provoking and deeply critical, it offers a crucial framework for understanding modern geopolitical struggles. Insightful, authoritative, and intellectually rigorous, Colonial Abadkari: Amreeka Se Israel Tak stands as an unputdownable read for fans of political science, world history, and international relations.
