Mamdani brings hope for change in Palestine

Thank you for this exciting text, which is most relevant to Palestine and the Arab world. The article is exciting, not only in its analysis, but also suggesting a reasonable practical plan, which makes the reader optimistic and full of hope that making a significant change in the current depressing situation, is most possible.

I wonder what Prof. Mahmood Mamdani would think about the issue of Arabic language (the local language in general), in the context of such a plan. Questions such as: mapping bibliography in Arabic (in addition to English French etc.) from a local perspective; bringing marginalized texts in Arabic, old and new - frequently texts that were not translated to English - into academic discussion; writing and publishing in Arabic and engaging texts in Arabic in academic work.
