Unsettle your assumptions about what the concept of the ‘Global South/s’ means! From the politics of the ‘Third World’ to subversive practice, see our curation of works situating the contested concept, not least from the global histories of anti-imperial struggles, in world politics, and as a praxis of knowledge generation. This reading list is obviously non-exhaustive. So, do let us know about other resources that you think should be on our reading list (we are still learning ourselves)!
