The intellectual claims of Citizen and Subject are broad and all-embracing, d his work quite explicitly carves out a new work from the material of the various stories and destinies of African countries. Mamdani highlights Inany of the nvolutions of the post-apartheid period; its timid advances, the broad mood of quiescence in a fait acco~npli among many weary of its potential internal wars, and its biguity and crass confusion in relation to the rule ofpeople in the rural areas which is ndoubtedly the least reformed aspect of the new period. Mamdani is helpful in going d the racial dilemma to point to the real nature of the contest for democracy, the obstacles, and provides a thorough examination of the various cul-de-sacs along advances have been attempted. But his approach does have limitations, incipally his identification of South African exceptionalism with political economy; s identification allows Mamdani to jettison the methodological perspective of litical economy, a perspective that T believe provides a valuable resource for cornbating South African exceptionalism. hings that bind beyond, and money-making strategies by South African companies ma explorations of the interior have brought the relatiollship between the peoples a souther11 tip of the continent and those of the land mass to the north into the matter politics and business. The Clinton visit, and his curious punting of opportunities Africa as a new profitable investment oppoflunity, brings to life the key issues of S relationships with the rest of the continent as South Africa appears the centrepiece international diplomatic initiatives, curiously elevated by American support a intervention. Behind the public blandishments of manifest destiny and econom opportunity lie the root motives of power and lnoney and the accompanyi lnailifestations of familiarity, arrogance and xenophobia. Apart from the students of foreign policy and specialists of various types, ther are few real authorities on Africa in South Africa. Compared to the experie~lces ofthos froln Europe and the United States, few South African exiles living in the conti have returned with a fluent intellectual interest in the African continent as a whole. ~novelnei~t of ideas and intellectual exchange over the divide between South Africa equatorial Afi-ica is perilously confined as the political and economic landscape shift The discipli~~es and focus of studies in South African universities in pr years---witl~ courses such as Af1-ican Studies and Comparative African Govel and Administration--that previously attracted those with a radical interes continental transfo~-~~lation, 16th all their evident lilnitatious, have somehow with on the vjlle. 11.1 many ways African Studies has to be crcated anew in South Africa, this is I-eflectetl in t11e CLII-rent academic controversies over the content and textual b of African Stlrdies at U(.:.l'. Mamdani has conducted path-breaki~~g work in itizen and Subject clearly marks out the intellectual antecedents of the current ontroversies as Mamdani straddles Inany divides; those between the disciplines of law, olitics, cultural studies and sociology; between divisions of African Studies and what e demarcates as South African Studies; and between colonial and post-colonial forms frule and resistance. Ma~ndani is awriter who refuses to be trapped in the conservative ic of 'race relations' and the false paradigms of comparative colonial practice, but through the thickets of colonial discourse to reveal the dynamics of divide and rule way that illuminates that which previously appeared hazy and obscure. He argues the majority of Africa's peoples are locked into a peculiar subjection to traditional uthorities refurbished and reinforced by colonial practice of decades. This authority mains unreformed by post-independence governments. In an unusual introduction to the book Mamdani presents his approach in rms of a specifically political methodology that emphasises his preoccupation with e nature ofthe Ali-ican state and its practices, pal-titularly in the rural areas. Indeed he ects the approach of South African Studies which he sees as based fundamentally on litical economy. His foundational approach is not theorised at length, it is simply serted and then defended through an exhaustive examination of various case studies the continent, effortlessly moving between the literature and experieilce of da, South Africa, and other countries. Marndani argues that South African Studies ased on the prejudice of South African exceptionalism, and that it is largely economistic' with an overdrawn preoccupation with exploitation that minimises nalysis ofthe form ofmle of the African majority. developn~ent of a11 AlYican Studies which integrates our country and the co~ltinent, an silT~Llltaneo~~slg locates ASrica within the global contcxt.
