Saviours and Survivors by Mahmood Mamdani
Examining how the conflict has drawn in national, regional, and global forces, this book deconstructs the powerful Western lobby's persistent calls for a military response dressed up as a 'humanitarian intervention'. It presents an account of Darfur crisis within a broad context of Sudan's history.
"This provocative and thoughtful inquiry raises hard and serious questionsIt is a valuable contribution to the understanding of some of the most important developments in the contemporary era." Noam Chomsky "Mamdani strips open the lies, stereotypes, and easy generalizations on which US policy toward the Muslim world is founded. Dismaying but essential reading." J. M. Coetzee"
