These essays bring together comparative material from experiences as diverse as Tanzania, Nigerian, India, South Africa, and the US. They have the merit of illuminating vital tensions in a period of transition and contention: on the one hand, between individual freedom and culture freedom, and on the other between freedom and justice. By placing each in this worldly context, they analyze the politics of culture talk and race talk.

<p>Saviors and Survivors is the first account of the Darfur crisis to consider recent events in the broad context of Sudan's history, and to examine the efficacy of the world's response to the ongoing violence. Illuminating the deeply rooted causes of the current conflict, Mamdani works from its colonial and Cold War origins to the war's intensification from the 1990s to the present day. Examining how it has drawn in national, regional and global forces, Mamdani decontructs the powerful Western lobby's persistent calls for a military response dressed up as humanitarian intervention. Incisive and authoritative, Saviors and Survivors will radically alter our understanding of the crisis in Darfur.</p>
