The model emerged in America, where genocide and internment on reservations created a permanent native minority. In Europe, this template would be used both by the Nazis and the Allies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither Settler nor Native offers a vision for arresting this process. Mahmood Mamdani points to inherent limitations in the legal solution attempted at Nuremberg. Political violence demands political solutions: not criminal justice but a rethinking of the political community to include victims and perpetrators, bystanders and beneficiaries. Making the radical argument that the nation-state was born of colonialism, he calls on us to delink the nation from the state so as to ensure equal political rights for all who live within its boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belknap Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41883716812835,"sku":"9780674278608","price":29.5,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_7677_b6ca5e38-fe88-4b30-bd0b-29a33754c630.jpg?v=1769513148","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/neither-settler-nor-native","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
