In 1968 the Third World Liberation Front at San Francisco State
College demanded the creation of a Third World studies program to
counter the existing curricula that ignored issues of
power-notably, imperialism and oppression. The administration
responded by institutionalizing an ethnic studies program; Third
World studies was over before it began. Detailing the field's
genesis and premature death, Gary Y. Okihiro presents an
intellectual history of ethnic studies and Third World studies and
shows where they converged and departed by identifying some of
their core ideas, concepts, methods, and theories. In so doing, he
establishes the contours of a unified field of study-Third World
studies-that pursues a decolonial politics by examining the human
condition broadly, especially in regard to oppression, and
critically analyzing the locations and articulations of power as
manifested in the social formation. Okihiro's framing of Third
World studies moves away from ethnic studies' liberalism and its
U.S.-centrism to emphasize the need for complex thinking and
political action in the drive for self-determination.
