DESCRIPTION:Discussion of Vijay Prashad's recent book "Darker Nations"\nSunday, Nov. 4, 
 10 a.m. • Presented by Eddie Yuen\nFree event.\n\nWhat was the Third 
 World? What are the origins of the term and what political, discursive, and 
 cultural roles did it play during the Cold War? How and why did the concept 
 go into decline and be replaced by cultural nationalism and religious 
 fundamentalism in much of the "Global South"? These and many other 
 questions are discussed in Vijay Prashads's acclaimed new book. This 
 mornings session will briefly summarize Prashad's book (participants are 
 encouraged to read it in advance if possible) and proceed to discuss many 
 of the issues raised by it. Class, nationality, culture, gender, religion, 
 marxism, neo-colonialism and utopia all intersect in this important and 
 fascinating book.\n\n\nEddie Yuen is a local teacher, writer and editor. He 
 is coeditor, with George Katsiaficas and Daniel Burton-Rose, of 
 "Confronting Capitalism: Dispatches From A Global Movement," Soft Skull 
 Press, 2003.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/10/29/18456888.php
