As a young scholar, Mamdani was part of a radical intellectual culture that thrived in post-independent Uganda. He spent his days and nights organising, arguing, studying, writing and conspiring. Later he witnessed first-hand the destruction of the Ugandan education system, the enclosure of knowledge and the construction of professionalisation as a means of social exclusion and elite formation. Still, he was disappointed. Consultancy had all but replaced research. Rote learning masqueraded as study. All this corruption, all these mediocre professors, apathetic students, all these bureaucrats on the loose. Stacey Hardy, Love and Learning under the World Bank, Chimurenga Chronic, August 2013.
