Synopsis

Following up on The Darker Nations, this book continues the intellectual history of the Global South, examining its struggles to build political movements since the 1970s. Vijay Prashad analyzes the failures of neoliberalism and the emergence of alternatives like the BRICS countries and various issue-based movements. The Poorer Nations redefines the Global South not as a geographical area, but as a collective of protests against the neoliberal project advanced by powerful global institutions. This work offers a revised understanding of the past while looking towards the future of global power dynamics.
