Product Description
Review
One of the most penetrating analysts of African affairs... a learned book that reintroduces history into the discussion on Darfur and questions the logic and even the good faith of those who seek to place it at the pinnacle of Africa's recent troubles. --New York Times
Mahmood Mamdani traces the path to the Darfur tragedy through its historical and colonial roots to the current situation, where drought and desertification have led to conflict over land among local tribes, rebellion, and finally to the brutal involvement of the forces of the state and to the efforts of the United Nations and othersto help the victims and stop the violence. His radical re-evaluation of the Darfur problem is a major contribution to understanding and, it is to be hoped, to ending a shocking human disaster. --Brian Urquhart, former Undersecretary-General of the United Nations
Saviors and Survivors is an incisive and challenging analysis. Framing both Darfur's war and the Save Darfur movement within the paradigm of the west's historic colonial encounter with Africa, Mahmood Mamdani challenges the reader to reconsider Darfur's crisis as genocide warranting military intervention. --Alex de Waal, Social Science Research Council

Product Description
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.
