A Photography of Relation: Indigeneity, Anti-Imperialism, and Tina Modotti's Visual Language of Liberation
This essay argues for a reexamination of the work of renowned Italian-born photographer Tina Modotti through the lens of "relational aesthetics." Studying her photography in Mexico alongside her involvement in the Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas (La Liga Antimperialista de las Américas, LADLA), this essay uses LADLA's newspaper El Libertador and personal papers from Modotti and LADLA leaders to outline how Modotti's photography engaged LA…
Against Latin American Regionalisms: The 1927 Brussels Congress and the Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas
This article examines the encounter of activists from the Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas (LADLA) with African, African American, and Asian anticolonial intellectuals through the League Against Imperialism (LAI), founded at the 1927 Brussels Congress. Drawing from LADLA's newspaperEl Libertador, letters from LADLA leaders, and speeches and resolutions in the LAI archive, it studies how exchanges begun in Brussels influenced debates in rad…
The Comintern and the Global South: Global Designs/Local Encounters
This book’s essays are written by an international and interdisciplinary group of leading scholars whose research spans Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. The essays bridgestudies of the Third International with postcolonial studies and other more recent formations such as Global South studies.

Introduction: New Critical Directions in Global South Studies, Continuing the Conversation
In this introduction to the second of two special issues on “New Critical Directions in Global South Studies,” the editors reflect on the state of the field, provide a brief discussion of analogous projects in other disciplines, and give an overview of the essays contained in the issue
Introduction: New Critical Directions in Global South Studies
This introductory article to the special issue takes stock of the scholarly impact of the last fifteen years of Global South studies scholarship in the field of literary and cultural studies, and comparative literature in particular. It contends that the Global South offers a dynamic framework for comparison of economic, political, and cultural inequalities beyond state-centric forms of analysis, and for this reason, is uniquely germane to the in…
From the Tricontinental to the Global South: Race, Radicalism, and Transnational Solidarity
In From the Tricontinental to the Global South Anne Garland Mahler traces the history and intellectual legacy of the understudied global justice movement called the Tricontinental—an alliance of liberation struggles from eighty-two countries, founded in Havana in 1966. Focusing on racial violence and inequality, the Tricontinental's critique of global capitalist exploitation has influenced historical radical thought, contemporary social movements…
South–South Organizing in the Global Plantation Zone: Ramón Marrero Aristy, the novela de la caña , and the Caribbean Bureau
This essay proposes a theory of the elided interwar novela de la caña (sugarcane novel), arguing that the genre participates in a transnational political exchange and cosmopolitics in which it uses regional contexts to examine global capitalist relations. Specifically, many of these works parallel the discourse of the understudied Caribbean Bureau of the Communist International. The Caribbean Bureau attempted to create workers’ movements on US-ow…
The Global South in the Belly of the Beast: Viewing African American Civil Rights through a Tricontinental Lens
In January 1966, delegates from the liberation movements of eighty-two nations came together at the Tricontinental Conference in Havana, Cuba, to form an alliance against imperialism. This alliance, called the Organization of Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (Organización de Solidaridad de los Pueblos de África, Asia y América Latina, OSPAAAL), quickly became the driving force of international political radicalism and…
Todos los negros y todos los blancos y todos tomamos café: Race and the Cuban Revolution in Nicolás Guillén Landrián's Coffea arábiga
In 1968, Nicolás Guillén Landrián, Afro-Cuban filmmaker and nephew of poet Nicolás Guillén, was commissioned by the Cuban Film Institute to make a didactic documentary on the Havana Greenbelt agricultural campaign. Instead, Guillén Landrián used this film, Coffea arábiga, to argue that the exploitation of black labor from Cuba's colonial legacy was perpetuated under the revolutionary state's agricultural policies. Through appropriating a highly p…
