The Darker Nations: a People's History of the Third World.(Brief article)(Book review)
THE DARKER NATIONS: A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE THIRD WORLD
By Vijay Prashad
New Press, 364 pages
IN HIS ELEVENTH BOOK, historian Vijay Prashad situates the Third World as a largely political and economic project whose alliances challenged the Western imperialist status quo. According to Prashad--a member of the activist academics school (think Robin D.G. Kelley and M. Jacqui Alexander)--this legendary project began in Brussels in 1927 with a conference of the League Against Imperialism. Almost 60 years later, the project died at the Non-Aligned Movement conference in 1983 in New Delhi, with the allure of global capitalism propagated by the International Monetary Fund.
