Third World Studies by Gary Y Okihiro sku-5161418030

In the revised and expanded 2nd edition of Third World Studies, Gary Y Okihiro examines the methods and theories of Third World studies. Proposed in 1968 at San Francisco State College by the Third World Liberation Front, the program was replaced by faculty and administrators with ethnic studies.

Okihiro critiques ethnic studies for liberalism and US-centrism and places the colonized world and anti-imperial, anticolonial and antiracist projects at the center of Third World studies, drawing on W. E. B. Du Bois's account from 1900. He examines power through race, gender, sexuality, (dis)ability, class and nation. This edition discusses the work of M. N.

Roy, José Carlos Mariátegui and Oliver Cromwell Cox, as well as Bandung, the Tricontinental, eugenics, feminist epistemologies and religion. The hardcover is listed under Social Science Books, SKU sku-5161418030.
