This collection takes a case study approach to enter into and
explore spaces of 'Second-Third World' interaction during the Cold
War. From the dining halls of a university, to hospital wards,
construction sites, military barracks, pubs and more, the chapters
drop the scale down from the global to the particular to better
see, understand and interpret the complex nature of these spaces.
These ordinary spaces are examined to understand how they were
conceived, constructed, shaped and reshaped by people over time.
Many are physical places of encounter, while others are more
abstract, embodying ideological goals. In exploring these spaces
the contributors show how the Second and Third World actors
understood them and connected them to ideas such as gender and
space, the space of the nation, of the modern and of the self.
Essentially, it seeks to unravel how these spaces between Second
and Third Worlds worked, and what, if anything, was distinctive and
consequential about them. Second-Third World Spaces in the Cold War
explores the ways in which these Second and Third World actors
collaborated and clashed in these everyday spaces, and brings these
multi-faceted, multi-actor histories to a vital centre ground.
