2. 2. The Darker Nations

   A People's History of the Third World

   

   A panoramic history of mid-20th-century anti-colonial and Third World solidarity that traces how leaders, intellectuals, and grassroots movements across Africa, Asia, and Latin America sought to build political and economic alternatives to imperialism and Cold War bipolarity; it centers the Bandung conference and the Non-Aligned Movement, profiles figures and states that pursued nationalization, land reform, and Pan-African and Afro-Asian cooperation, and shows how hopes for collective development were repeatedly challenged by external pressure, internal contradictions, and the shifting dynamics of global capitalism, leaving a complex legacy for contemporary struggles against neocolonialism.

3. 3. Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting

   Afro-Asian Connections and the Myth of Cultural Purity

   

   A lively, revisionist account of twentieth-century Afro–Asian encounters that shows how anti-colonial politics, popular culture and revolutionary movements created cross-cultural solidarities and hybrid identities across Africa, Asia and the Black diaspora. Drawing on cinema, music, martial arts, political conferences and leftist movements, it traces how ideas and cultural forms—from Maoist thought and Bandung-era diplomacy to Black Power and kung fu films—moved between continents, challenged Western dominance, and complicated simple notions of cultural purity. The book argues that modernity and resistance were transnational processes shaped by mutual influence rather than isolated national stories, and it highlights forgotten networks of cooperation and exchange that reshaped politics and popular culture in the postcolonial world.
