| summary | Here’s a summary of the website content "Get the best of Compact right in your inbox. Mamdani and the Future of the Left":
This article discusses Kishore Mamdani’s influential work, particularly his book *Citizen and Subject*, and its relevance to understanding contemporary political movements and the future of leftist thought. It highlights Mamdani’s theory of “competitive exclusion” – how political parties create and reinforce divisions within societies to maintain power – as a framework for analyzing conflicts in Africa and beyond. The piece suggests his work offers a critical perspective on the limitations of traditional left-wing approaches and provides a nuanced understanding of how identity and violence are strategically deployed in the political arena. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of considering the role of ‘citizens’ as both subjects of the state and active participants in shaping political landscapes, especially within the context of a fragmented and increasingly polarized world. It advocates for engaging with Mamdani’s insights to better grasp contemporary political challenges and inform leftist strategies. |
