Exploring the interplay between nation-states and colonial states, the author argues that the formation of ethnic and religious majorities often stems from the violent suppression of minorities. By examining diverse cases from the United States to Eastern Europe, Israel, and Sudan, Mahmood Mamdani proposes a transformative idea: a state that exists independently of a singular national identity. This radical solution challenges conventional notions of statehood and offers a new perspective on governance and identity.
