Socialist modernities and South-South internationalism

Review by Anchana Wachira-asakon
Black-and-white archival photograph of a plenary session at the Bandung Conference, showing delegates seated at long rows of tables on a conference floor, with an audience of observers seated in tiered galleries above.
In Socialism, Internationalism, and Development in the Third World (Bloomsbury, 2024), edited by Su Lin Lewis and Nana Osei-Opare, the contributors show how the countries of the Global South collaborated while engaging with various forms of socialisms. Anchana Wachira-asakon writes that the volume's dialogic structure enacts its own central claim: that socialist internationalism was always plural, not singular, making its historical recovery feel especially urgent today.
