The Poorer Nations: A Possible History of the Global South

It was a very interesting read, I did get a little lost sometimes with all the economics terms but it is understandable enough for everyone and it really helped expand my thinking in different ways.

It was an exciting read and for anyone who wants to know how the world got to where it is today......the secrets of the many failures and the irresponsibility of the north......a few who undermined the capacity of others to determine their destiny.

Dry but very informative, sort of stuff that one should be educated about in world affairs but you aren't going to get this from most other sources or most media

Anyone who wants to know the cause of current global conflicts, read this book. It is the first time I have been able to find the chronological and detailed story of the domination of poorer nations by CORE (rich) countries. The information is a must for teachers and instructors, and I plan to use it in my World Regional Geograp[hy Courses.

Amazing history of a period of time of which I knew very little. Although colonialism is a concept which is extremely familiar, not from the view point of those nations which suffered under the weight of this system...nor from those who tried to stand up against its oppression

Liked it

wonderful book...you don't need any real background to understand it, just be highly interested in the countries that the west didn't think mattered for so long....hard not to be ashamed

The book was new but the way its made and printed I found it very uninteresting and hard to read

Vijay Prashad no decepciona. Como en su otro libro ofrece una visión de la historia vista desde el Sur muy acertada. Se agradece una mirada crítica a la realidad de las relaciones internacionales.As always Prashad doesn't disappoint. The book offers a certain and actually vision of International Relations from the South.

I have yet to finish this book. It s part of a course series.

Great book
