The <\/span>first<\/strong> <\/span>comes from the <\/span>Asian-African Conference in 1955 from Bandung<\/span>, Indonesia, where representatives from dozens of countries — though not from the U.S., Europe, or the Soviet Union — come together to talk about a global South-South future of solidarity that does not get entangled in the emergent Cold War of the U.S.-Capitalist order versus the Soviet State-Socialist order. The <\/span>second<\/strong> <\/span>perspective comes from African leaders fighting for independence from Europe and setting up <\/span>a hopeful future of Pan-African Unity<\/span>. The <\/span>third<\/strong> <\/span>perspective comes from the global North’s creation of <\/span>three global institutions of power<\/span> <\/span>— the World Bank, the IMF, and the GATT\/WTO. We will break into six study groups, supplied with enough materials to read\/study\/view, and you will discuss collectively the materials. <\/p>\n Today, I will give an overview of the first perspective, from Bandung, and then we break up into our groups.<\/p>\n One source of documents (official speeches, private notes, and news media coverage) from the Bandung Conference archives: <\/span>https:\/\/www.cvce.eu\/en\/education\/unit-content\/-\/unit\/dd10d6bf-e14d-40b5-9ee6-37f978c87a01\/c28105d8-8f82-4f57-b077-7e87dfbc7205\/Resources<\/span>Links to an external site.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Here is the Bandung Declaration, <\/span>a short declaration\/communique<\/a> <\/span><\/span>Download a short declaration\/communique<\/span><\/a><\/span>after the conference.<\/p>\n Prime Minister of India Nehru’s important speech: <\/span>https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/saylordotorg-resources\/wwwresources\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/HIST103-9.2.3.pdf<\/span>Links to an external site.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n decolonization (1950s-1960s) timeline: https:\/\/www.cvce.eu\/en\/education\/unit-content\/-\/unit\/dd10d6bf-e14d-40b5-9ee6-37f978c87a01\/ff00d996-e62a-4314-91e7-68929501fb7d#16fd0103-6844-47b7-9998-56c6e2433f6c_en&overlay<\/p>\n Thurs Feb 22 – <\/span><\/strong>The independence\/anti-colonial movements — The second perspective on post-war development <\/span>from African anti-colonial\/pro-Independence leaders<\/em> Assignment: Read\/view the materials provided on this page<\/span>. <\/p>\n First, we will meet in our groups and continue our discussion on tone and ideas.
