Moradi, Fazil; Bhabha, Homi K.; Eckert, Julia; Dikeni, Leslie; Mamdani, Mahmood (25 February 2021). From the Colonial Nation-State to a Decolonized Political Community (Unpublished). In: Virtual Symposium at the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study. virtuell. 25 February 2021.

The colonial/modern nation-state lives on as unique and incomparable to other forms of political organization. And yet, its uniqueness is impossible to think outside of colonialism, genocides, ecological destruction, and the making of majority as superior and opposed to minority. Is the possibility of justice a matter of law? Is a decolonized political community possible? In this Virtual Symposium we attend to Professor Mahmood Mamdani’s book, Neither Settler nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities
