Reviews for Saviors and Survivors
"This provocative and thoughtful inquiry raises hard and serious questions. It 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"
