In Neither Settler nor Native, Mahmood Mamdani explores how colonial systems around the world created enduring divisions between settlers, natives, and minority populations. Through case studies including the Americas, South Africa, Israel/Palestine, Sudan, and other regions, he argues that modern nation-states often institutionalized political identities that produced "permanent minorities." Mamdani examines how these structures emerged through colonialism and proposes decolonization as a process of creating inclusive political communities that transcend rigid ethnic and racial categories.
