Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.
He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown":
「其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。」
-魯迅，故鄉

After every war
someone has to tidy up.
Things won’t pick
themselves up, after all.
Someone has to shove
the rubble to the roadsides
so the carts loaded with corpses
can get by.

I’m at the point now where pretty much everything I see on the internet I assume to be fake. This is slightly complicated because I am one of those things on the internet
