Title: Third Worlds Within
Description: Summary:"Third Worlds Within examines the production of radical political community across racial and ethnic differences in Southern California and globally. Drawing from an expansive historical archive, the book traces an extensive study of interethnic and transnational radicalisms that impact the US and animate what has been called the Third World, the tricontinental, and the global South. Daniel Widener analyzes key moments of cultural and political organizing to explore the possibilities inherent in interethnic and internationalist collaboration. Chapters look at Black and Japanese American and Black and Mexican American solidarities in Los Angeles and at cultural efforts to produce such solidarities more widely. Throughout the book, Widener sustains a careful consideration of the effects of US racial capitalism and imperialism upon communities of color, and he pays special attention to the multiracial struggle of bringing about social transformation"-- Provided by publisher
