Could the Third World have emerged without the Second? Perhaps, but it would have looked different. Rosen Dzhagalov's book explores the cultural ties that existed between the countries of the socialist bloc and the Third World during the Cold War. The author focuses on two projects that strove to represent the Third World in literature and cinema: the Afro-Asian Writers' Association (1958–1991) and the Tashkent Film Festival of Asian, African, and Latin American Countries (1968–1988). Their stated goal—to achieve cultural independence for Third World literature and cinema from the West—was never achieved, but these initiatives created a network of connections through which texts and films that eventually became the postcolonial canon circulated until the end of the Cold War.

By reconstructing the details of this history, the book inverts the traditional relationship between Soviet and postcolonial studies: the author shows how this theory itself and the associated culture were largely shaped by Soviet internationalism. Rosen Dzhagalov is an associate professor at New York University.
