An innovative account of how the concept of the 'Third World'
emerged in France from the mid-1950s through to the mid-1970s
alongside a new leftist movement. The book reveals how, in an age
of Cold War, decolonization and development thinking, French
activists rose to prominence within the political Left, established
transnational contacts, and developed a new global consciousness.
Using the 'Third World' concept to reinvigorate anticolonial
solidarity, they supported the Algerian FLN, the Cuban Revolution,
and the liberation movements in Vietnam and Portuguese Africa.
Insisting on the postcolonial character of France after the end of
empire, they promoted new forms of cooperation with developing
countries and immigrant workers. Examining the work of French
leftists in publications such as Partisans, parties such as the
PSU, and associations like the CEDETIM, Kalter sheds new light on a
crucial moment in France's history, the global contexts that
prompted it, and its worldwide ramifications.
