Socialism, Internationalism, and Development in the Third World

Su Lin Lewis is Professor in Global and Asian History at University of Bristol, UK. She is the author of Cities in Motion: Urban Life and Cosmopolitanism in Southeast Asia 1920-1940 (2016) and co-editor of The Lives of Cold War Afro-Asianism (2022).Nana Osei-Opare is an Assistant Professor of African & Cold War History at Rice University, USA. He has published articles in several journals and has been an NEH/Ford Foundation fellow at the Schomburg Center and an Andrew Mellon fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton, USA.

Lewis and Osei-Opare's new edited volume is a field-changing book that shifts our view of the global history of development. It definitively grounds the history of development in the global south and irreversibly links it to stories of socialism, internationalism and regionalism that will change scholars' and students' understanding of the 20th century.
