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.
