While important work has been done regarding radical activism in the United States and Western Europe, events in what is today known as the Global South-Asia, Africa, and Latin America-have yet to receive the requisite attention they deserve. This volume inserts the Third World into the study of the 1960s by examining the local and international articulations of youth protest in various geographical, social, and cultural arenas. Rejecting the notion that the Third World existed on the periphery, it situates the events of the 1960s in a more inclusive context, building a richer, more nuanced understanding of the Global 1960s that better reflects the dynamism of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamantha Christiansen is an instructor at Northeastern University.

By giving sustained attention to the 1960s in the so-called ‘Third World,’ while exploring the status of the very idea of the ‘Third World’ internationally, the book both expands and unsettles common understandings of the ‘global Sixties.’ The individual essays bring to light local conflicts and struggles often excluded from narratives of the era, while illuminating the relationship between national, transnational, and international contexts. It is a vital addition to the accumulating body of knowledge on the 1960s and the means by which the world has become increasingly interconnected.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Jeremy Varon\u003c\/strong\u003e, The New School for Social Research, New York\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tForeword\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eArif Dirlik\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSamantha Christiansen and Zachary A Scarlett\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Crossing Borders: The Idea of the Third World and the Global 1960s\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eA Shared Space of Imagination, Communication, and Action: Perspectives on the History of the “Third World”\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eChristoph Kalter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and the Imagination of the Third World\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eZachary Scarlett\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Politics and Periodicals in 1960s India: The Naxalite Movement\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAvishek Ganguly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Liberation Struggle and Humanitarian Aid – International Solidarity Movements and the “Third World” in the 1960s\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eKonrad Kuhn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: Fresh Battles in Old Struggles: New Voices and Modes of Expression \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003e“A More Systemic Fight for Reform”: University Reform, Student Movements, Society, and the State in Brazil, 1957-1968\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eColin Snider\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e “Speaking the Language of Protest:” African Student Rebellions at the Catholic Major Seminary in Colonial Zimbabwe, 1965-1979\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eNicholas Creary\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003e1968 and the Context of Apartheid: Students, Race, and Politics in South Africa\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eChris Saunders\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eBrother Wally and De Burnin’ of Babylon: Walter Rodney’s Impact on the Reawakening of Black Power, the Birth of Reggae, and Resistance to Global Imperialism\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJames Bradford \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart III:  Unfinished Business: Challenging the State’s Revolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9. \u003c\/strong\u003eJune 4th 1969: Violence, Political Imagination, and the Student Movement in the Congo\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePedro Monaville\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eRevolution on the National Stage: Mexico, the PRI, and the Student Movement in 1968\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJulia Sloan\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11. \u003c\/strong\u003eStudents, Identity and Strategic Alliance Building: The Emergence of University Students as a Political Opposition Force in Indonesia in the 1960s\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eStephanie Sapiie \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12. \u003c\/strong\u003ePutting up a United Front: MAN in the Rebellious Sixties in the Philippines\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eErwin Fernandez\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038912545111,"sku":"9780857455734","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780857455734.jpg?v=1750941911","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-third-world-in-the-global-1960s-9780857455734","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
