• This book moves away from the focus on high diplomacy which has long marked the history of the “Third Worldism” of the Cold War era. The so-called “Bandung Moment” has tracked the leaders of the decolonizing world from the conference halls of Bandung and Belgrade, to those of the United Nations and beyond. This book seeks to place the spotlight on lesser-known gatherings. It highlights exchanges within the Afro-Asian world that speak to a broader participation in the “Bandung moment”: the participation of activists, intellectuals, cultural figures, and political leaders. This collection thus disrupts hard divisions between state and non-state spaces, as well as between Cold War blocs. Framing the early Cold War as an era of relatively open international exchange, this collection takes these “blurry lines” as a departure point. Using concrete case studies, it engages the fact that in many Cold War era gatherings, one delegation might consist of government officials, while another delegation might be comprised entirely of activists, dissenters, or outright exiles. These gatherings are further contextualized by chapters highlighting both the intellectual and material underpinnings of these Afro-Asian exchanges, bringing into full view the changing social dynamics of Cold War era internationalism in the Afro-Asian world. From the genealogy of ideas used to strengthen Afro-Asian solidarity to the political economy of institutional finance and Cold War patronage, this book tells an interconnected set of stories of cultural and intellectual traffic in the post-colonial era
