Columbia University-professorn Mahmood Mamdani diskuterar sin senaste bok, *Slow Poison*, som undersöker hur brittiskt kolonialstyre formade Ugandas postkoloniala stat och långa styre av ledare som Idi Amin och Yoweri Museveni. Med egna erfarenheter av exil och statslöshet kopplar han Ugandas historia av tillhörighet och uteslutning till sonens politiska klättring, New Yorks borgmästare-elect Zohran Mamdani.

He suggests replacing it with 'Hexagone', a neutral geographic term already used in some official texts. This symbolic change would affirm the equality of all French territories.
