It is often asserted that West German New Leftists "discovered the
Third World" in the pivotal decade of the 1960s. Quinn Slobodian
upsets that storyline by beginning with individuals from the Third
World themselves: students from Africa, Asia, and Latin America who
arrived on West German campuses in large numbers in the early
1960s. They were the first to mobilize German youth in protest
against acts of state violence and injustice perpetrated beyond
Europe and North America. The activism of the foreign students
served as a model for West German students, catalyzing social
movements and influencing modes of opposition to the Vietnam War.
In turn, the West Germans offered the international students
solidarity and safe spaces for their dissident engagements. This
collaboration helped the West German students to develop a more
nuanced, empathetic understanding of the Third World, not just as a
site of suffering, poverty, and violence, but also as the home of
politicized individuals with the capacity and will to speak in
their own names.
