“One of the most remarkable aspects of Mamdani’s rise is the long shadow of his father’s intellectual project. Mahmood Mamdani is a world-famous antinationalist academic at Columbia University, who argues that every sovereign country is built on exclusion and sustained by domination and violence. He has called for a political future in which every nation state including the United States would be ‘deconstructed.’ Nationalism is the dominant political form of the modern world. Nation states set the rules for citizenship, command armies, print money, and provide the legal frameworks within which our lives unfold. Yet this has not always been the case, and there is no guarantee that it will always remain so. For that reason alone, it is worth engaging seriously with the case against nationalism — a case that has been pressed by both the Right and the Left.” (09/02/25)
