Subject: [Ihp] what happened in the Third World beginning fifty years ago?

The end of the colonial era was an important period that affects current
conditions in much of the world today, yet we now little about it. I came
across a book Prashad, V. (2007). The Darker Nations: A People's History of the
Third World New York, New Press which summarized a great deal of information in
over 350 pages.

Vijay Prashad is interviewed by CS Soong on a program, Against the Grain put
out by Pacifica radio station KPFA in Berkeley. I time shift all the programs
(3 a week) they produce and really learn a great deal from listening to them.
You can hear the two-part interview at
http://www.againstthegrain.org/audio6.04.07.mp3
and
http://www.againstthegrain.org/audio6.05.07.mp3

and you can also download them for your listening device as mp3 files. The key
website is
http://www.againstthegrain.org/
where you have to scroll down by searching for Prashad, say.

And they are available as smaller audio files from the station
http://www.kpfa.org/archives/index.php?show=47&page=&type=
by going to the archive for June 4, 5, 2007.

I've made an edit of both segments into a 13 mb file I could send to those
whose mail addresses will allow such large files.

Consider looking at the other material there. The web allows great reach and
this is some of the best.

Stephen
