The Comintern and the Global South: Global Designs/Local Encounters
studies the relations and productive tensions between the Third
International, intellectual histories of racial justice and
anti-imperialism, as well as other forms of internationalism.
Building on extant institutional histories of the Third
International, it moves in new directions by focusing on the points
of intersection - often conflictual and short-lived - with
anti-imperialist, anti-racist, and nationalist organizing, making
the Third International a site of encounter between a global
political project and more local and regional contexts. Due to the
broad range of geographic and linguistic expertise of the
contributors, this book traces routes of exchange that are often
elided in existing studies of the Third International. The chapters
address how actors from Global South contexts shaped key debates
on, for example, the role of Black, Indigenous, and migrant labor,
the "Islamic question," and the "peasant question," which
challenged Bolshevik epistemological frameworks. All such
"questions" involved political subjectivities that the Comintern
tried to reductively frame within a global revolution driven by
Moscow, resulting in the Comintern's ultimate disintegration.
Nevertheless, this juncture between the Comintern's global designs
and its local encounters left a significant legacy that would later
be reconfigured in mid-century anticolonial movements.

Not only were more African slaves transported to South America than
to North, but overlapping imperialisms and shared resistance to
them have linked Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean for over
five centuries. Yet despite the rise in transatlantic, oceanic,
hemispheric, and regional studies, and even the growing interest in
South-South connections, the South Atlantic has not yet emerged as
a site that captures the attention it deserves. The Global South
Atlantic traces literary exchanges and interlaced networks of
communication and investment-financial, political, socio-cultural,
libidinal-across and around the southern ocean. Bringing together
scholars working in a range of languages, from Spanish to Arabic,
the book shows the range of ways people, governments, political
movements, social imaginaries, cultural artefacts, goods, and
markets cross the South Atlantic, or sometimes fail to cross. As a
region made up of multiple intersecting regions, and as a vision
made up of complementary and competing visions, the South Atlantic
can only be understood comparatively. Exploring the Atlantic as an
effect of structures of power and knowledge that issue from the
Global South as much as from Europe and North America, The Global
South Atlantic helps to rebalance global literary studies by making
visible a multi-textured South Atlantic system that is neither
singular nor stable.
In From the Tricontinental to the Global South Anne Garland Mahler
traces the history and intellectual legacy of the understudied
global justice movement called the Tricontinental-an alliance of
liberation struggles from eighty-two countries, founded in Havana
in 1966. Focusing on racial violence and inequality, the
Tricontinental's critique of global capitalist exploitation has
influenced historical radical thought, contemporary social
movements such as the World Social Forum and Black Lives Matter,
and a Global South political imaginary. The movement's discourse,
which circulated in four languages, also found its way into radical
artistic practices, like Cuban revolutionary film and Nuyorican
literature. While recent social movements have revived
Tricontinentalism's ideologies and aesthetics, they have largely
abandoned its roots in black internationalism and its contribution
to a global struggle for racial justice. In response to this
fractured appropriation of Tricontinentalism, Mahler ultimately
argues that a renewed engagement with black internationalist
thought could be vital to the future of transnational political
resistance.
