The Darker Nations by Vijay Prashad
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.
