The idea of the seminar is to discuss the concepts and the recurring arguments of
these two intellectuals from East Africa who are of the same generation and who
had almost the same trajectory in their training and their academic work. For
this, we will choose among their writings the closest of our thematic such for
example: Mazrui, Ali A., African Thought in Comparative Perspective, (2014);
Mazrui, Ali A., The Africans: A Triple Heritage, (New York: Little Brown and Co.,
and London: BBC) and -Mamdani, Mahmood, Citizen and Subject: Contemporary
Africa and the Legacy of Late Colonialism (1996).
