At the History News Network blog Cliopatria Aaron Bady has a useful post summarizing an ongoing debate at Making Sense of Darfur, the blog edited by respected Sudan expert Alex de Waal. The debate centers around Mahmoud Mamdani’s book Saviors and Survivors: Darfur, Politics, and the War on Terror. I should be honest in saying that I am not a big fan of Saviors and Survivors. In fact, at points I think is is an aggressively bad book. Nonetheless, check out the debate for yourselves.
