Rezensionen

"Rethinking the Third World is an interesting and timely read. It is successful in addressing a wide-ranging history of ideas and social changes in vast and often-disregarded areas in the international system -Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. ...Rethinking the Third World is a critical and fascinating starting point to stimulate such debates." (Seyed Saeed Mousavi, Journal of global Analysis, Vol. 7 (2), November, 2017)
