"Another World Was Possible" modifies the slogan of the World
Social Forum--an annual meeting formed as an alternative to the
more elite World Economic Forum--"Another world is possible!" The
change from present to past tense in the phrase acknowledges the
importance of social movements from the past century that have
worked for alternative visions of justice and freedom leading up to
and continuing to influence current movements. This special issue
of "Radical History Review" highlights the global and transnational
dimensions of radical history that are less visible in other
historical accounts whose horizons are national or local or that
are oriented toward either "centers" or "peripheries." By
emphasizing social movements and political contention, this issue
offers a globalized radical history that enriches the wider field
of world history.
The collection argues that radical movements offer an intriguing
counternarrative to the more familiar history of imperialism and
globalization in the twentieth century. One essay illuminates the
radical anticolonial and diasporic South Asian Ghadar movement,
which worked to free India from British rule. Another delves into
the global politics of South African radicalism between antifascism
and apartheid in the 1940s and 1950s. A third essay explores the
encounter between U.S. black activists and Cuban revolutionaries in
the 1960s. In an interview, a Latina activist illustrates the
transnational scope of contemporary social movements by describing
her organizing work among immigrants in Atlanta, Georgia.
