Focaal includes Mahmood Mamdani's and Xenia Cherkaev's books in its list of “One Hundred Indispensable Works for Thinking in Our Times.”

The journal, Focaal, listed Mahmood Mamdani's Citizen and Subject: Contemporary Africa and the Legacy of Late Colonialism (Princeton UP, 1996) and our alumna Xenia Cherkaev’s, Gleaning for Communism: The Soviet Socialist Household in Theory and Practice (Cornell UP 2023) among its list of most important works. Congratulations to both!
