perspectives that are most at variance with Western formulations. Non-radical, Third-World views - those of the moderates, modernists, secularists, and globalists, and of the westernized and socialscience socialized products of American and European graduate schools - are not discussed in this essay. Westerners would find the views of these moderates congenial, though it should be noted that these people and their views are vilified by those theorists of whom I write in this essay. How representative non-Western radical thinking is today is difficult to determine. That its main themes recur in the analyses and pronouncements of Islamic fundamentalists, Arab nationalists, American Black nationalists, Iranian revolutionaries, Hindu fundamentalists, Chinese Marxists, Chiapas leaders, Shining Path and Tupac Amaru guerrillas, Singaporian officials, Lebanese poets, African dramatists, South American novelists, Caribbean political theorists and Indian film-makers, suggests that such thinking is fairly widespread. The themes resonate among young people, poor people and angry people, of which there are many in the non-Western world. Because the views of the radicals are unpleasant for Westerners to contemplate, they are too often ignored in the West
