Praise for The Darker Nations:
"Darker nations, brighter nations: this book helps to uncover the
shining worlds hidden under official history and dominant
media."
--Eduardo Galeano "Vijay Prashad is one of the great radical
intellectuals of our times, and this book is essential reading for
militants everywhere."
--Irvin Jim, general secretary of the National Union of
Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) "The Darker Nations is the
first comprehensive political history of the Third World as a

this history and constructing a viable political program
today."

anecdotes . . . [and] a handy alternative history of our planet in
the post-World War II era."

. Prashad surveys the history of the Third World with passionate
engagement."
