Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani discusses his latest book, Slow Poison, which explores how British colonial rule shaped Uganda’s post-independence state and the long tenure of leaders like Idi Amin and Yoweri Museveni. Drawing on his own experiences of exile and statelessness, he links Uganda’s history of belonging and exclusion to the political ascent of his son, New York City mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani.
