In the best tradition of Connected and Global History, this volume brings together academic experts presenting us with a panoramic view of two centuries of political, cultural and intellectual interaction between Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe. Drawing on primary sources in several languages, the authors offer fresh and fascinating accounts of decolonization and anti-imperialism unfolding across regions called the Global South, the Third World, or, as this book calls it, the Islamic and Ibero-American World, spanning from Spain, Morocco, Turkey, Iran, Cuba, Chile, Mexico and Argentina. There is nothing quite like this book out there!

This volume offers a vital contribution to global history by highlighting SouthSouth perspectives and engaging critically with decolonial ideas. It stands out for its long-term view of the links between anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, and Third Worldism, its wide range of methods and approaches, and the diversity of voices and academic traditions it brings together.

The volume offers detailed understandings of the wider transboundary circulation of ideas and people connected through diverse collaborations and codependencies, without relying on distinct categories of cultural Otherness. This is one of the main reasons why the book and the project behind it have broad applicability. Last but not least, the capacity of the various contributors to propose and carry out ground-breaking interdisciplinary research is exceptional.
