The landmark alternative history of the Cold War from the
perspective of the Global South, reissued in paperback with a new
introduction by the author In this award-winning investigation into
the overlooked history of the Third World—with a new preface by
the author for its fifteenth anniversary—internationally renowned
historian Vijay Prashad conjures what Publishers Weekly calls “a
vital assertion of an alternative future.” The Darker Nations,
praised by critics as a welcome antidote to apologists for empire,
has defined for a generation of scholars, activists, and dreamers
what it is to imagine a more just international order and continues
to offer lessons for the radical political projects of today. With
the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the rise of
India and China on the global scene, this paradigm-shifting book of
groundbreaking scholarship helps us envision the future of the
Global South by restoring to memory the vibrant though flawed idea
of the Third World whose demise, Prashad ultimately argues, has
produced an impoverished and asymmetrical international political
arena. No other book on the Third World—as a utopian idea and a
global movement—can speak so effectively and engagingly to our
troubled times.
